A masked, gun-toting bandit hearded McDonald’s employees into a freezer and forced another one to open the safe during a daring Queens robbery, police said today.

The suspect hid in the bathroom at 181-25 Hillside Ave., emerged at 1 a.m., after closing early Thursday morning, and ordered two workers into the freezer, cops said.

The man, armed with a black semi-automatic pistol, then had the last employee open the safe. After grabbing $2,500 in loot, he used a Flex-Cuff to restrain that third worker, law enforcement sources told The Post.

Employees described the man as 6-foot, 200-pound man between 28 and 33. He wore a black ski mask, blue hooded sweatshirt and blue pants.

Anyone with information about this robbery is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477). Tips can also be submitted at NYPDCRIMESTOPPERS.COM.
