Bad Soden-Salmünster (dpa) - With a strikingly patterned tie in the style of the 80s and a firearm, a man robbed a bank in Bad Soden-Salmünster in southeast Hesse.

The 20-year-old threatened the cashier on Tuesday, had an initially unknown amount of cash handed over and fled, the police said.

"He did it cleverly: everyone focused on the ugly tie and not paid attention to his face," said a police spokesman.
