Man Attempts To Rob Greenwich Village Bank: Police

GREENWICH VILLAGE — A man attempted to rob a bank in Greenwich Village on Tuesday, police said.

At about 12:45, a man entered a Citibank on Broadway near East Eighth Street and passed the teller a note demanding money, according to officials.

Apparently the teller was unmoved by the request and declined to proceed with the transaction, police said, leaving the would-be robber with no choice but to run out of the bank empty handed.

Officials reported that the man fled north on Broadway.

An image of the man being sought was released by police.

Anyone with information in regard to this incident is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).
