WATCH | Armed men need just seconds to rob Chatsworth restaurant

What should have been a relaxing evening for restaurant owners in Chatsworth, Durban, on Sunday turned into a terrifying experience.

While locking up, the owner, manager and staff of the Copper Chimney restaurant were attacked by armed men and robbed.

CCTV footage shows the gunmen pushing the men inside the shop and forcing them to lie on the floor. 

One of the victims is repeatedly stomped in the throat while another is shoved to the ground as he tries to stand up. 

In a matter of seconds, the robbers got away with two cellphones and an undisclosed amount of cash.
