Police said the failed bank robbery began shortly after 1:30 p.m. when a man entered the RBC, 309 Hays Blvd., and approached an employee at the reception desk. The man handed the employee a note demanding money and stated he had a weapon. When the employee told the suspect that she had no money, the man told her to approach another employee for the money. When that teller indicated she had no money, the suspect began walking towards another teller, but panicked on the way and ran out of the bank. The suspect was seen leaving in a green Dodge Caravan, which police later recovered and determined was dent.

Police said the collision occurred around 6 p.m. when a vehicle being driven by a pregnant woman was knocked off the road and onto nearby railroad tracks by another vehicle.

With the arrival of police, the CN line was shut down at which point the woman was taken to hospital as a precautionary measure. "She has since been released," said Sgt.
