Police have arrested and charged a man in connection to a robbery that took place at the Citibank branch on Steinway Street last week.

Sergio Dasilva, 31, from Astoria, was arrested on Aug. 31 at around 9:00 am, and was charged with robbery, according to police.

The NYPD received notice on Aug. 24 of a robbery at the Citibank on 25-91 Steinway Street, where they say a man threatened three employees at the bank with a gun after jumping over security glass.

The robber fled the scene with an undetermined amount of cash, police say.
