Montgomery County police released video footage Wednesday in an attempt to identify a suspect in a robbery last week at a Capital One bank on Georgia Avenue in Silver Spring.

The incident happened around 3:40 p.m. Oct. 28 at the bank at 8315 Georgia Ave., not far from popular restaurants and about two blocks from the Silver Spring library.

According to the video, a man dressed in black pants and a black jacket approaches a teller, says something, fiddles with some papers, and then briefly pulls a black handgun out of his right pocket before tucking it back in.

Police said the man obtained an undisclosed amount of money from the teller and then fled the bank.
