BAYSIDE — Police were on the lookout for a suspect wanted in connection with a robbery at a Flushing Savings Bank last month, cops said.

Reports showed the unknown white man entered the 188-08 Hollis Court Blvd. bank around 12:35 p.m. Oct. 25 and passed a small note demanding all $100 and $20 bills, police said. The suspect then said, “Hurry up and give me back the note” before the teller gave him $1,058 and he fled on foot, cops said.

The NYPD described the man as about 5-foot-8, weighing about 180 pounds in his late 30s with a white cap, black square-rim glasses, a gray hooded sweatshirt and black backpack.

No one was injured in the incident, the NYPD said.

Anyone with information was asked to call Crime Stoppers at (800) 577-TIPS (8477). The public can also submit their tips by logging onto Crime Stoppers’ website at www.nypdcrimestoppers.com or by texting their tips to CRIMES (274637), then enter TIP577.
