The Philadelphia Police Department and the FBI are seeking the public’s assistance to identify and locate the subject responsible for the attempted robbery today of the Bank of America branch located at 2439 Welsh Road in Northeast Philadelphia.

At approximately 11:35 a.m., the subject entered the bank and handed a teller a demand note. The subject eventually fled the area of the bank without obtaining any money.
