FORT WORTH (CBSDFW.COM) --  Fort Worth police are searching for a brazen bank robber who held-up tellers at a Frost Bank in one of downtown Fort Worth's tallest office buildings.

Darko Keca is among the stunned office workers forced to wait outside on the sidewalk across the street.

He said, "Kind of scary actually,"

Police say the gunman ordered the workers into a bathroom, and took off with cash.

The Fort Worth police swat team and other units searched inside the entire building.

Sgt. Steve Enright says, "They're very methodical. They went floor by floor office by office and they decided everyone at some point they cleared the building, called it clear and secure and that no one was in any danger inside."

Police sent out two photos on Twitter showing the suspect walking away from the building.

Sgt. Enright tells me it's a very rare situation inside a downtown bank.  "It's interesting to see. We usually see them in smaller strip centers, one floor stand alone banks. To see it downtown with a high-rise, it definitely presents new problems and situations we have to contend with."

Keca says, "That's actually pretty brazen for him to do that. There's cameras everywhere and I'm sure if they haven't caught them yet, they will."

He praised the massive police presence.

No one was hurt.
