Video from a D.C. Wharf security camera shows the moment four suspects, appearing armed, rushed toward diners waiting outside a high-end restaurant.

The incident happened in a matter of seconds after a dark-color sedan slowly pulled up to the 600 block of Wharf Street SW.

The dramatic scene unfolded outside of Philippe Chow a little before 11 p.m. Monday, October 16. Online, it says the Asian restaurant just opened up at the Wharf over the summer, boasting a world-renowned chef. There are a number of other high-end restaurants and businesses nearby. The area is well-lit and there is security. However, an armed robbery still happened there.

D.C. Police tell FOX 5 they’re looking for a total of five suspects, believed to be 17-to-25 years old. Police tell FOX 5 they did not get any reports of gunfire but did confirm wallets, watches and other personal items were stolen.
