QUEENS — A would-be robber fled a bank in Ditmars after being rebuffed by the teller Friday afternoon, police said.
Police say the suspect entered the Chase Bank location at 22-30 31st St., at 4 p.m., passing a note to the teller demanding money.
But the teller refused to hand over the cash, and the man turned and fled the location empty-handed, according to the NYPD.
Police on Saturday released photos of the suspect, who they say is in his mid-30s, about 5 feet 10 inches tall and weighing 180 pounds, with black hair and a goatee. He was last seen wearing a black baseball cap, a tan short sleeve t-shirt, black pants and black shoes.
