After receiving the cash, police say he struck a female employee in the head and left the location.
The suspect was identified as a 22-year-old from Dearborn Heights. Police originally said a 55-year-old man from Detroit was in custody, but it was reported that that man was actually a suspect in a different attack at the same time, only 1/4 mile from the bank.
Officers eventually tracked the suspect to the city of Detroit and took him into custody in the area of Greenfield and Joy roads around 1:33 p.m.
The employee was taken to the hospital and is listed in stable condition.
