The Greenwich Metro-North station has reopened after police shut it down to search for an armed bank robber who they believed may have boarded one of the trains.
It happened around 5 p.m. after a man wearing a hat and sunglasses stole cash from a nearby People's United Bank. He spoke to the teller in Spanish, according to police.
Authorities said the suspect had a gun. Police originally said the man fired a shot, but have since said that no shots were fired.
The man fled down Steamboat Road in the direction of the train station. Police said they thought he may have boarded a train to New York City.
Police held one train in each direction at the Greenwich Station on Railroad Avenue and stopped a third train at the Fordham station in the Bronx, NY, authorities said.
The searches turned up negative and service was restored around 5:45 p.m., according to police.
