Police are searching for a man accused of firing a gun inside a Crown Heights restaurant after becoming upset over his food order.<\/p>\n
Police say the incident happened just before 10:45 p.m. Saturday at Essence Bar and Grill, located at 1662 Atlantic Ave.<\/p>\n
The bartender working that night told News 12 that the restaurant was packed. She says a man and woman sitting at the bar grew frustrated over how long their food was taking. She said she later refunded their money.<\/p>\n
Instead, the bartender said the man pulled out a gun. Security asked him to leave, but she said he briefly returned and fired a single shot toward the ceiling before walking out.<\/p>\n
Police say the suspect then drove off red Jeep Wrangler on Atlantic Avenue.<\/p>\n
No one was injured. The restaurant was forced to close for several hours while police collected evidence.<\/p>\n
The suspect is described as a man with facial hair. He was last seen wearing a red baseball cap, red jacket, blue jeans and white sneakers.<\/p>\n
Police are asking anyone with information about the incident or the suspect to contact the NYPD.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Police are searching for a man accused of firing a gun inside a Crown Heights restaurant after becoming…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":80417,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[98,100,99,102,9,24,63,39846],"class_list":{"0":"post-80416","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-brooklyn","8":"tag-brooklyn","9":"tag-brooklyn-headlines","10":"tag-brooklyn-news","11":"tag-crown-heights","12":"tag-new-york","13":"tag-new-york-city","14":"tag-nyc","15":"tag-shots-fired"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/80416","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=80416"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/80416\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/80417"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=80416"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=80416"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=80416"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
