UPDATE: Man Arrested in Capital One Bank Robbery

Update, Feb. 29, 5:05 p.m.:  Mervyn Bollers, 19, was arrested at the bank at 4:41 p.m., police said. He was charged with robbery, criminal possession of stolen property and petit larceny. 

Correcting the initial report below, police spokesman said the man did in fact get some cash from the bank. It appears that cops caught him after he left the bank, but was likely brought back to the bank for the teller to identify him before he was arrested.

A robber tried to hold up the on Washington Avenue between Eastern Parkway and Lincoln road, but left without getting any cash, police said. (Editor's Note: See update above, apparently he did get some money.)

The man passed a note to the teller demanding money just after 4:30 p.m. today, but then ran out. It's not clear whether the teller refused to give him the cash or whether he left for another reason.
