Robber gets trapped inside bank

A suspected bank robber was arrested and taken to a hospital on Thursday morning after getting trapped and finding himself unable to leave the building in Lawrenceville, Pittsburgh. The man got stuck between the double glass doors at Citizens Bank on Butler Street when an employee hit a switch to activate that built-in safety measure shortly after 9 a.m.



Thick, black tape now covers a shattered portion of the front glass. Witnesses said the man was banging on it, trying to get out, and he left blood marks on both the glass and the floor.



Had the robber taken a closer look as he went inside, he would have seen a notice on the front door: "Enter one adult at a time. This ACU door is a protection against robberies."

Another sign higher up on the front glass says, "WARNING This property is protected against robberies by an access control unit." Pittsburgh police have only identified the robbery suspect as a 27-year-old man from McKees Rocks.
