Cops are looking for three men who assaulted a man while he was waiting for his food inside a Caribbean restaurant in Far Rockaway.

The attack occurred last Saturday, April 19, at Classic Quizine on 713 Beach 20 Street. According to an NYPD release, the victim, a 23-year-old man, had placed an order at around 6:15 p.m. and was waiting for his food when the four suspects entered the restaurant and began to pummel him. One of the suspects beat the victim in the head with a cane, while another threw a chair at him. The victim received cuts but refused treatment at the scene.

All the suspects are described as black males between the age of 20-25; one was wearing a long sleeve Nike Air shirt (see photo) while another had a shirt emblazoned with the word "Killer."
