The crooks didn’t seem to care that there were pedestrians between them and their target.

Luckily, the shots narrowly missed three members who of the public.

One young woman could be seen running in fear after hearing the loud bangs.

In front of her, a terrified man could be seen ducking for cover.

Luckily, there were no fatalities following the brazen attack in Lima, Peru.

Local media say panic broke out inside the restaurant.

None of the bullets penetrated the building’s facade, as reported by Need To Know.

It’s believed the crooks shared the clip online themselves in a bid to intimidate the owners into paying 50,000 PEN (£10,847) in protection money.

Local media say such attacks have become worryingly commonplace in several parts of the Peruvian capital.

The authorities are reportedly working to identify those involved in the attack.
