When reporters from Shin Min Daily News arrived at the scene, the men had left, but the canteen was in a mess.
The reporters observed overturned tables and chairs, broken glass on the floor, and bloodstains on some chairs.
They also saw a kitchen knife and shoes on the floor.
Two or three police cars also parked next to the canteen, and officers cordoned off the surrounding area for investigations.
