The incident occurred after 9:00 pm on Wednesday, in theKraken Crudo restaurant, located at 3525 Second Avenue in Northeast Miami.
The assailants are Spanish-speaking, armed, and demanded the victims' belongings while other diners witnessed the event, but they did not ask anyone else for anything.

The event, which fortunately left no injuries, has caused alarm among workers in the hospitality sector and has highlighted a possible need to reinforce security in the well-known Midtown area of Miami.
