The robbery occurred Wednesday around 1:40 a.m. at the El Palacio Restaurant located at 444 East Wyoming Avenue.
Surveillance video showed the four men entering the restaurant with handguns. Authorities said the suspects forced four diners to the floor and stole cell phones and money before fleeing the area on foot.
One of the victims was struck in the head with a handgun and sustained a laceration. He was transported to Einstein Hospital for treatment.
Police could only describe the suspects as "unknown Hispanic males."
