The victim reportedly chased after them, and one of the suspects opened fire in his direction. No one was shot during the incident, and the victim declined medical treatment.
The violent attack occurred days after the murder of another Chinese food delivery worker, Zhiwen Yan, whose fatal shooting in Queens was linked to an alleged duck sauce dispute.
Police are still looking for Saturday’s suspects, who were seen wearing hooded sweatshirts and surgical masks. Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers at (800) 577-TIPS.
