An 81-year-olld woman was choked and held hostage during a frightening bank robbery caught on camera in Queens, with the suspect still on the loose — and considered armed and dangerous
The scary heist occurred Thursday at the Ridgewood Savings Bank at the intersection of Myrtle and Forest avenues, according to police. Video exclusively obtained by NBC New York shows the ambush inside the bank branch, as a man in a white hoodie comes up from behind and grabs the woman by the neck as she is speaking to the bank teller.
The woman is put in a chokehold, held hostage by the robber who demanded cash — or else.

"Here it’s absolutely critical that they get this bad actor off the street immediately. Lives are at risk. This could have gone sideways in a hurry and law enforcement will make this the highest priority," Gallagher said Law enforcement sources said that the man may have injured his hand during the attack. Galagher said he is worried the suspect could strike again, but potentially with a different outcome.
