Police are looking for a man who tried robbing a bank but was denied by a brazen bank teller.
Police say it happened at the HSBC Bank at 1 E. Fordham Rd. in busy Fordham on March 27. There police say the man walked into the bank and passed a note to the teller demanding money. When the teller said no, the man left without any money. He took off in an unknown direction.
The man is described as black, around 20 to 30 years old, and last seen wearing a mustard-colored hat, dark-colored winter jacket and baggy clothes.
Anyone with information is asked to call CrimeStoppers at (888) 577-TIPS (4782).
