The Queens man who allegedly robbed a New Hyde Park bank in February is also facing robbery charges in New York City, court records show.
Police arrested Long Island City resident Christopher Pabon, 34, at Rikers Island on Wednesday in connection with the Feb. 1 robbery of Valley National Bank at 699 Hillside Ave., police said.
Pabon is being held at the New York City jail on an unrelated charge, police said.
Pabon allegedly entered the bank at 4:38 p.m. on Feb. 1 and gave the teller a note demanding money.
The teller turned over an undisclosed amount of money, police said, and he fled on foot eastbound on Hillside Avenue.
Police said there were five employees in the bank at the time, but no one was hurt.
Court records show Pabon was arrested in Queens on April 4 in connection with four separate incidents earlier this year, including one the day after he allegedly robbed the New Hyde Park bank.
He faces charges of third-degree robbery, fourth-degree grand larceny of property worth more than $1,000 and first-degree coercion in Queens Criminal Court. All are felonies.
Nassau County authorities gave him a desk appearance ticket for a felony third-degree robbery charge.
Pabon’s next Nassau County court date is set for May 9. His next Queens court date is May 10.
