Officers found him by following a blood trail to a home about a block away.
He is said to be in stable condition at a hospital, where he is being held for questioning.
"We’re holding him as a suspect at this time since we’re told the reason he was stabbed is because he was assaulting at least one or two of the Popeyes employees," Philadelphia Police Chief Inspector Scott Small said.
A manager told police there were about eight employees inside the restaurant, which was about to close.
Police say the stabbing was caught on interior surveillance cameras.
