Then the second man buzzed in at the business and asked if his friend was there. The first man exited the room, displayed a folding knife, and grabbed a woman by the wrist, pushing her to the ground. The other employees, hearing what was going on, locked themselves in the bathroom. One victim attempted to flee and one of the men slammed a door on her arm multiple times. The two men fled in a dark SUV without any money.
