The robbery was reported at about 5:30 a.m. at The Woodman, located at 13615 Ventura Blvd, Los Angeles police said.

It is unclear if anyone was injured. Police are treating the robbery as an assault with a deadly weapon.

Investigators are hoping security camera footage from the bar will help them identify the suspects. There was no immediate suspect descriptions. It's also uncertain what was stolen.
