Tulsa police say the robber entered the eastside bank at 10:04 a.m. Saturday, pulled out a semi-automatic pistol and confronted two tellers.

Officers say the man then jumped over the counter and took an undisclosed amount of cash before running away on foot.

No one was hurt.

Officials described the robber as an African-American or Hispanic male between 5 feet 8 inches to 5 feet 10 inches tall. He weighs between 180 and 200 pounds and was wearing a black, hooded sweatshirt, long pants and white tennis shoes. The suspect also wore panty hose over his face and white cloth gloves.
