CHICAGO — Police said they arrested a man suspected of robbing a bank in Jefferson Park Sunday morning.

A man robbed the TCF Bank branch at 4930 N. Milwaukee Ave. about 11:20 a.m., according to the FBI. He told tellers he had a weapon but never showed one, according to the FBI.

He fled the building with an undisclosed amount of money, but cops caught up to a suspect matching his description about 10 minutes later, said Officer Janel Sedevic, a police department spokeswoman.

The 36-year-old man was arrested but had not been charged as of early Monday afternoon, authorities said.

Sedevic said no one was hurt in the robbery.
