A bank in downtown Little Rock was robbed Monday afternoon, police said.

The robber entered the U.S. Bank branch located at 401 W. Capitol Ave. shortly after 3 p.m., the Little Rock Police Department wrote on Twitter.

In a report released Tuesday, officers wrote that a man had walked up to a teller station, threw a plastic bag on the counter and demanded the employee fill it with money.

The 45-year-old worker told authorities that the robber asked her to not give him a dye pack and never displayed nor implied that he had a weapon.

The report states that he fled from the business and headed north on Spring Street on foot.

Police distributed a photo of the robbery suspect. He was described as a black man in his mid-50s who stands 5 feet 4 inches tall to 5 feet inches 9 tall, weighed 220 pounds and wore a white polo shirt, camouflage shorts, light-colored shoes and a camouflage hat. The man was bald, with a thin mustache and beard, authorities said.
