Thief hits two banks in Morningside Heights

A bank bandit hit two banks in Morningside Heights — 15 minutes apart, authorities said.

He first tried to rob an HSBC bank on Broadway near West 102nd Street around 2:10 p.m. and fled without getting any cash, police said.

Then, 15 minutes later, the thief went to a Bank of America just six blocks north of his attempted heist and passed a demand note to the teller, cops said.

In the second robbery, he fled with an unknown amount of dough, cops said.

No one was injured in either incident and no weapons were displayed, police said.
