CHICAGO (CBS) -- The FBI released surveillance images Thursday of a man wanted in an attempted bank robbery last week on Stony Island Avenue in South Shore.

The FBI was called at 10:30 a.m. Thursday, April 3, for an attempted robbery at the PNC Bank at 7300 S. Stony Island Ave.

The robber made a verbal demand for money at the bank and implied he had a gun, the FBI said.

The robber was described as a Black male standing about 5 feet 5 inches tall and weighing about 200 to 225 pounds. He was wearing a white or gray hooded sweat shirt, a black baseball cap, dark-colored pants, and a white bandage covering the left side of his face.

The FBI released two surveillance videos Thursday afternoon.
