Two robbers broke into a packed Brooklyn restaurant and robbed three customers at gunpoint while the appalled dinner patrons watched, according to police and sources.
Around 9:35 p.m., in full view of other clients, the pair broke into the popular Chinese restaurant Birds of a Feather in Williamsburg, brandishing a gun, and demanding a $200 Seiko watch and phones from three customers, according to police.
The NYPD claims that the criminals took off with the prize, riding a moped on Grand Street and heading west. Three iPhones were eventually located and retrieved, according to police, at an address on North 11th Street.
Eater was informed by restaurant owner Xian Zhang that there were several patrons present at the time of the incident. “It was very brazen,” he said. “Fortunately, nobody got hurt.”
According to authorities, all the victims were man in their 20s. As of Thursday, the perpetrators in both cases were still at large, according to the police.
