Police are hunting for a man who robbed an Arlington bank Friday afternoon.

The man, wearing a black hooded sweatshirt with red and white lettering and a ball cap, entered the Presidential Bank on the 1700 block of North Moore Street around 1:55 p.m. He announced the robbery, demanded cash from the teller, then fled on foot toward a nearby Metro station with an undisclosed amount of money.
