Cops are still hunting for a robber who apparently timed his heist at a Midtown bank more than four months ago, authorities said.
The suspect (pictured) walked into the Bank of America branch on West 42nd Street at Sixth Avenue at 5 p.m. Sept. 27 as the teller was counting out cash. He grabbed her hand and demanded she fork over the dough, police said. She did so, and the man made his getaway.
Staten Island
A driver was busted in Old Town after trying to flee from police, authorities said.
A detective tried to pull over Luan Husic, 20, for driving recklessly, but Husic ignored him and made a U-turn on McClean Avenue near Lampert Boulevard, court papers claim.
He then blew through a red light and three stop signs, authorities said.
When police arrested him on the corner of Old Town Road and Albright Street, he refused to exit his car and tried putting his hands under him to avoid being cuffed, the records say.
Then, when police finally subdued him, they searched his vehicle and allegedly found painkillers.
Husic was charged with reckless driving, unlawful fleeing of a police officer in a motor vehicle, resisting arrest, and criminal possession of a controlled substance, a spokesman for DA Dan Donovan said.
The Bronx
An unidentified man was shot to death in a Morrisania housing project yesterday, authorities said.

The victim, who was wearing a heavy winter coat, had been shot twice in the head.

Stallworth is a known member of a Bloods off-shoot known as the Mad Dogs, which controls parts of the Red Hook Houses, and his return to Brooklyn led to a spike in violence, authorities said.
Stallworth was charged with attempted murder and criminal possession of a weapon, according to court papers.
