The bank robber hit a bank in Cypress.

The ordeal occurred at around 9:55 a.m. at the Bank of America located at 13250 Grant Road in Cypress.

The feds say the thief walked into the bank, approached a counter and pointed a black, semi-automatic handgun at the teller while demanding money. 

According to the FBI, the thief then placed a black cloth bag on the counter and continued to point his pistol at the teller with his finger on the trigger.

The man reported received the money and then pointed his pistol at other employees in the bank and demanded more money. 

The man then fled on foot, according to authorities.
