Shortly after opening the bank on Thursday, the manager was gazing outside when he saw a masked man approach the door. He quickly reacted, holding the door closed, not allowing the potential robber inside.

According to a police statement, the suspect showed a handgun and knocked it on the glass door as he was trying to enter the bank.
