Robber Holds Knife To Mans Throat In Broad Daylight At Bank of America ATM on Windward

Today as a man was at the ATM in front of Bank of America on Windward and Main, a male Hispanic in his late 20′s approached him and held a sharpened kitchen knife to his throat and told him to put in his PIN number. The incident happened around 1 p.m. in broad daylight as many other people were using the ATM’s in front of the bank. The victim told the man he didn’t have much in his account, and the robber just repeated, “Put in your PIN”. The transaction was taking too long… and the suspect fled on foot towards the beach. He was arrested minutes later on Pacific and Market by LAPD, and was positively ID’d by the victim. He had a crudely sharpened knife in his possession. He also told police he was schizophrenic, but had not taken medication “for years”. The victim, visibly shaken, could not believe someone held a knife to his throat in broad daylight.
