Minneapolis police are seeking the public's help in identifying a dapper armed man who robbed a Guaranty Bank branch inside a Rainbow Foods store at 1540 New Brighton Blvd. just after noon Friday.

The suspect is a 45- to 55-year-old black male with a light complexion. He is approximately 6 feet tall and weighs about 200 pounds.

The suspect fled on foot with an undisclosed amount of money. A similar suspect has been described in other metro area bank robberies.
