Buda Police are seeking a man who donned blackface before robbing the Broadway Bank Monday afternoon.


According to the BPD, the man walked into the Broadway Bank located on FM 1626 at 3 p.m. and handed the teller a note demanding money.


He fled on foot with an undetermined amount of cash. No weapon was seen.


The above image was taken from surveillance video at the Broadway Bank in Buda.


In the wake of the robbery, Buda police swarmed the scene, assisted by the Hays County Sheriff’s Office and the San Marcos Police Department, which brought its K-9 unit.


Photos posted by the BPD on Facebook clearly show the suspect, who was dressed in a dark blue hoodie and dark pants. He had on a dark blue ball cap with an insignia obscured by sunglasses, also dark blue.


He has a mustache and goatee visible through a black substance smeared on his face, excepting his ears and around his mouth.


The BPD is enlisting the public’s help in locating him. Anyone with any information is urged to contact the department at 512-312-1001 and ask for Detective Fleming.
