Police in Washington are searching for the man who they say tried to abduct a barista.

The Auburn Police Department posted a video of a truck driving up to a drive-thru window at 5 a.m. on Monday. The suspect is seen grabbing the barista's arm when the worker attempts to give him cash back. He appeared to try and secure the woman's arm with a looped zip tie but failed.

The suspect drove off as the cash fell to the ground.

Police said he has a tattoo on his forearm that appears to say "Chevrolet." They are hoping someone might recognize the man.

Anyone with tips is encouraged to contact the Auburn Police Department at 253-288-7403.

Auburn is located in King County, between Seattle and Tacoma.
