NEW YORK (WCBS ) — Police are trying to track down a man they say attempted to rob a bank earlier this month in Manhattan.

The suspect walked into the bank with a cane and fled in a wheelchair, police say.

It happened shortly before 2 p.m. on Dec. 4 at a Wells Fargo Bank on the Avenue of the Americas in Midtown.

Police said the suspect handed a 25-year-old teller a note demanding cash. She did not comply, and he took off heading east on West 45th Street.
