A man on a bike tried to rob a woman at gunpoint outside a Hyannis mall this morning, police said.
The woman was in her car outside the Cape Cod Mall, parked near the T.G.I. Friday's restaurant, when the man banged a silver handgun on the window and yelled at the woman to give him all her money, according to Barnstable Sergeant Ben Baxter.
The woman fled her car and ran inside the mall uninjured, Baxter said. The suspect smashed her car window, but did not get away with any of her money or belongings.
Police are looking for the suspect, described as a white male in his late 30s, 5 feet 10 inches tall. He was wearing a mask that covered his face, a light-colored hooded sweatshirt, and winter gloves.
