NOBODY WAS INJURED DURING THE ROBBERY AT MR. TONG


Last night at closing time, as two employees of Mr. Tong restaurant finished pulling down the security gates, two men armed with guns and with the bottoms of their faces covered emerged from the darkness where they had been waiting. One poked his gun into the side of one of the employees and hustled the two employees and a third one who was standing at the corner into the restaurant. Once all of the employees were sitting on the floor behind the counter, the thieves removed all of the cash from the register and took whatever cash was in the employees' pockets. The police were called and took a report.

The good news--and what's most important--is that nobody was injured during the robbery. Mr. Tong is on the corner of Fort Hamilton Parkway and E. 3rd Street.
