The suspect, still wearing his ski mask and gloves, was apprehended after he was spotted running down the block by a man making a meat delivery to a neighboring store. According to a press release by Councilman David Greenfield, the delivery man yelled out “chaptzem”, before contacting the Boro Park Shomrim and the NYPD.
The perpetrator was chased down and caught by members of Shomrim at 14th Avenue and 52th Street, only one block from the scene of the robbery. Shomrim held the suspect and NYPD arrested him. The robber is currently in custody. Criminal charges against him are pending.

I don’t know who is dumber the bank robber for coming back the next day, or the bank for giving him 8K the second day after only giving him 2K the first day!
You got to be realy stupid to make a bank robbery in borough park!!!!!
Wow, so many rasers and wannabe rasers in 1 video clip
So many banks to choose from on quiet streets and he picks one on 13th Ave? What an idiot. And fleeing on foot wearing a mask?
Only in BP do people lack the common sense and are bored enough to risk their lives for excitement to chase bank robbers. There was a homicide on 13th and 40th only last week. Who says a bank robber won’t have a knife or a gun? Banks train their employees about safety first and not to care about INSURED money. I surely wouldn’t be stupid enough to chase bank robbers when a CEO of these banks won’t lose sleep even if they get millions stolen. Leave the job the cops, at least they have guns and bullet proof vests.
Where is the Lee Avenue overpass when you really need it??
Years ago, every branch bank in NYC had at least one armed security guard. However, to save money, the banks did away with the guards. Now, their philosophy is to cooperate with the robbers. Unfortunately, cooperating doesn’t always work. Some robbers are determined to shoot and kill victims for no reason at all.
