Robber Pistol-Whipped, Choked People Inside Little Village Bank During Robbery: FBI

A man robbed a bank in Little Village at gunpoint Tuesday, pistol-whipping a person and choking another, according to the FBI.

The man entered the Fifth Third Bank branch at 2504 W. Cermak Road shortly before 5 p.m. and showed a handgun, the FBI said.

He wore a black hoodie, a black mask, red-orange pant, and white and black athletic shoes.

A photo released by the FBI shows the suspect walking through an office area of the bank, pointing a handgun.

No other details were released.

Earlier that day, three men robbed a Chase Bank branch about two miles away on Ashland Avenue.
