One of the restaurant workers ran to a nearby 7-Eleven to get help, and another worker was found inside a freezer. Neither worker was hurt, according to authorities.
Responding police say they spotted a multi-colored Honda Civic or Accord speeding from the scene as they arrived, and it appeared to have 4 men inside it. The car was fleeing west on Erie Avenue.
