Philadelphia police are looking for a man who fled from a bank with nearly $2,000.

The man went to the Wachovia Bank at 341 W. Cheltenham Ave. Friday and showed the teller a note demanding money. The suspect, who is described as a black male in his mid-20's to early 30's, was wearing a two-toned, blue puffy coat. He received approximately $1,193 and then fled the bank, according to police.

Police also describe the man as having short hair, a thin build and a goatee.

If you have any information on the suspect and/or the crime, contact Detective Mark Bates at (215) 885-1600, ext. 457.
