Authorities say the man, who was also wearing a reflective vest and had a surgical mask over his mouth, walked into the HSBC Bank on Fifth Avenue, showed the teller a demand note and flashed a gun.

The teller handed him cash, which he put in a white shopping bag along with his gun. Then he ran off.
