A bank robber got away with $800 after hitting a Citizens Bank branch in Mayfair on Tuesday, June 18, police said.

Officers responded to the scene at 7327 Frankford Ave. around 4:30 p.m. The suspect, described as a 6-foot man in his mid-30s, handed the teller a demand note, police said. He was last seen fleeing north toward Bleigh Avenue.

Authorities say the man was wearing a gray shirt with a white square on it and a black backpack.

Police did not release any further information.

It’s at least the second time the Citizens Bank branch has been robbed in recent months. Back in April, a man with a different description hit the location. ••
