Nassau police arrested a Queens man Friday for his part in a bank robbery in Valley Stream last March.

Anthony Leon, 20, of 18th Street in Astoria was arrested in the robbery of a TD Bank at 275 W. Merrick Rd. on March 24 at 1:15 p.m., police said. Two men entered the bank at 1:15 p.m., police said.

The second suspect, who police said has not been arrested, is described as being 18 to 21 years old, 5 feet, 8 inches tall to 5 feet, 10 inches tall, wearing Afro-style hair with a bleached-white Mohawk in the middle of his head.
