Sheepshead Bay — A white man stormed into a Brooklyn Chinese buffet restaurant on Tuesday evening and attacked three employees with a hammer, in what police are calling an “unprovoked attack.”
At around 5:15pm, 34-year-old suspect, Arthur Martunovich entered Seaport Buffet in Sheepshead Bay and beat three men in the head. Fufai Pun, 34, a chef at the restaurant, was pronounced dead at NYU Langone Hospital-Brooklyn, while the 60-year-old owner of the eatery and a 50-year-old manager remain in critical condition, according to NYPD.
Witnesses said the suspect came into the Asian-owned restaurant yelling and immediately attacked the employees with his hammer.
Diners reportedly fled in horror and took shelter in nearby restaurants.
“I heard a bunch of people screaming: ‘He’s killing people! Lock all the doors!’” Samantha Randazzo, who manages Randazzo’s clam bar less than a block from the scene, told the NY Post.

Witnesses saw the suspect flee through the parking lot of the restaurant. Cops quickly tracked him down and arrested him on East 19th Street near Emmons Avenue. The hammer was recovered at the restaurant.
While in police custody Martunovich told detectives he was inspired by a movie about the mistreatment of women in the Asian culture.
“A “rambling” Arthur Martunovich told detectives that after seeing the flick — the name of which wasn’t immediately known — he had no choice but to unleash terror inside the packed,” the Post details.
Martunovich was charged with murder, two counts of attempted murder and criminal possession of a weapon. The Brooklyn resident was also a suspect in a 2016 assault but was never officially charged. He was also reported as a victim of assaults in 2016 and 2004.
