A homeless man tried to rob a Port Washington bank Monday, police said.
Nassau County's Robbery Squad and Port Washington police arrested Victor Williams, 19, on charges he attempted to rob a Capital One Bank at 1020 Port Washington Blvd.
Williams went into the bank and gave a teller a note demanding cash, authorities said. He then fled without collecting any money, police said.
Three employees and one customer were in the bank at the time; police said no injuries were reported.
Williams was arrested without incident by Port Washington police at about 5:50 p.m. at the Port Washington train station, police said.
