Robber stomps bank teller, rides off on a mountain bike

Associated Press - March 19, 2009 3:15 AM ET

EAST GREENBUSH, N.Y. (AP) - Police in Rensselaer County are looking
for a masked bank robber who stomped on a teller before riding off on
a mountain bike with an undetermined amount of cash.

Authorities say the man rode up to a Key Bank in East Greenbush
shortly before 3 p.m. Wednesday and assaulted and robbed the teller.
He then rode the red bike a few blocks, threw the bike in the back of
a blue Dodge Dakota pickup, and drove off with a second suspect.

Police say the man wore a cream-colored sweatshirt and dark running
pants. They're asking any witnesses to contact them.

This story would be impressive to me if he actually used the bike to
get away. Instead he jumped into pickup truck and fled.
