Wilkes-Barre police are searching for six masked men who allegedly assaulted two teenage employees inside a restaurant on Barney Street Wednesday night.
The incident happened around 9 p.m., when the suspects entered the restaurant and began physically attacking the two 16-year-olds who were working at the time. Authorities say several customers tried to intervene and stop the assault, but the group fled the scene before police arrived.
The motive behind the attack is unclear, and no arrests have been made. Both teens sustained injuries, though the extent has not been publicly disclosed.
Wilkes-Barre police continue to investigate and are asking anyone with information or surveillance footage from the area to come forward.
