“It was a bit frightening,” restaurant worker Tong Yi Hu told The New York Post in Mandarin on Tuesday. “We have no idea what the cause was, and it was pretty nerve-wracking. It’s getting less and less safe,” he said of the city.
Speaking to WCBS-TV, Hu said, “From the time they entered to the time they left, it only took a minute. They didn’t say a word. We have no idea what was happening," reported the New York Daily News.
“I was behind the register and was in shock,” he told the station. “Then I ran to call 911, but by the time I got through, they were already gone.”
According to the Daily News, Hu said that the stunt caused more than $20,000 in damages.
“This is a big financial loss,” he said, adding, “Especially our reputation to future customers. Nobody wants to go to a place where things like this happen.”
According to The New York Post, cops are still looking for suspects and no arrests have been made in the case so far.
