New York police have released a new surveillance video of the mob of masked individuals who ransacked a Chinese restaurant in Queens on March 4.
Surveillance footage published on Thursday shows 17 teens cramming themselves into an elevator just after trashing Fish Village on the third floor of a corner mall in College Point.
Three people who were already in the elevator were forced out by the mob, who somehow managed to all fit in.
The video also gives a relatively clear look at the face of one member who appears to have lowered his mask or face mask.
The restaurant attack, which occurred minutes earlier, saw the suspects flip tables and chairs, terrifying around 30 customers who had been dining in peace.
“From the time they entered to the time they left, it only took a minute,” owner Tony Hu told CBS News through a translator. “They didn’t say a word. We have no idea what was happening.”
Hu said he was behind the register when the chaos erupted. He tried to call 911, but the perps were gone by the time he got through.
