Bandits storm crowded NYC restaurant and rob diners as shocked dinner crowd looks on: cops


A pair of brazen bandits stormed a crowded Brooklyn restaurant and robbed three diners at gunpoint while the horrified dinner crowd looked on, according to cops and a report.

The duo rushed into Williamsburg Chinese hotspot Birds of a Feather with a gun and demanded a $200 Seiko watch and phones from three patrons around 9:35 p.m. in plain view of other customers, police said.

The robbers then fled westbound on a moped on Grand Street with the bounty, according to the NYPD.

Police said investigators later tracked and recovered three iPhones to an address on North 11th Street.

The victims were all men in their 20s, police said. 

Entrees at the eatery on Grand Street near Bedford Avenue range from $18-$35, according to its website.

Owner Xian Zhang told Eater the restaurant was full of diners when the robbery unfolded.

“It was very brazen,” he said. “Fortunately, nobody got hurt.”

The unsettling crime comes after a pair of gun-toting robbers stole a $100,000 watch from a man outside popular Manhattan restaurant Carbone on June 18.

The perps in both incidents were still in the wind as of Thursday, police said.

Birds of a Feather did not immediately return a request for comment.
