An armed robbery suspect was reported down and taken to a local hospital Friday morning.
The incident began at about 10:30 a.m. at the Farmers and Merchants Bank, 2211 N. Bellflower Blvd., in East Long Beach.
The suspect was reported injured and in custody shortly after 11:30 a.m. Police would not confirm if he was shot, but did say he had been seriously injured and was taken to a hospital.
It appeared as though the man tried to hold up the F&M Bank, which sits north of the Los Altos Shopping Center, and was either stopped by a security guard or responding police officers.
Department spokeswoman Lisa Massacani confirmed that the suspect was injured, but would not say if he was shot. She said the wouldbe robber is expected to survive.
More information is expected shortly.
