I saw the man, snail like, approaching the women with caution because he couldn't see her face. As he got closer he was anxious to heist the women. The old lady looked vigorous every step he took.

The man walked up to the teller and held up a hand grenade for all to catch a glimpse of. He said, "Give me all your money, all the money in this bank, right now!” Everyone in the lobby screamed and started running, even the security guard.

The robber put the money in the front seat and drove he turned west onto Grand Avenue and managed to collide into three parked cars. The man also tried to run over a police officer, who was standing up straight as if he was part of the FBI in the crosswalk ordering him to a halt. Turning north, the driver caused a bus to slam on its brakes to avoid a collision. Luckily the driver had pushed the brake pedal in time; the damage to their cars was mind blowing.
