(Robinson Township, PA) The manager of Central Diner and Grille was detained by federal agents in Robinson Township yesterday. 

Video shared on social media appears to show two men identified as federal agents pinning the manager to the ground. 

The restaurant closed for the remainder of the day following the incident. 

According to a post on the restaurant’s Facebook page, agents were searching for someone who ran from authorities after a car chase ended in the diner’s parking lot. 

The owner said the manager initially refused to let the agents inside and asked them to wait outside. According to the owner, agents eventually searched the restaurant. 

The owner said agents did not find the person they were searching for, but they left with the manager, who the owner said is a U.S. military veteran. 

In a Facebook post, Central Diner and Grille said it planned to reopen during regular business hours today.
