NEW: Police investigating bank robbery in Crystal City

A bank in Crystal City was robbed Monday morning by a man who reportedly fled in a taxi.

The robbery happened around 11:30 a.m. at the Bank of America branch at 1425 S. Eads Street, across from Amazon’s HQ2.

Initial reports suggest that a heavy-set, possibly middle-aged man passed a note to a teller and fled with cash, hopping in a cab that then headed to nearby Reagan National Airport.

No injuries were reported. Police quickly responded to the scene and are now investigating.
