The suspect left the building and waited for the victim just outside the restaurant’s door, police said.

Both suspects fled the scene in a black Dodge Challenger, according to police. The victim was treated by emergency medical technicians at the scene and did not go to the hospital. He had a cut above his nose, a black eye and “extensive bruising” to the left side of his face in the immediate aftermath of the attack, according to a police report.
