Armed Robber Wears 'Deadpool' Mask To Hold Up Ohio Bank

An armed suspect wearing a Deadpool mask robbed a bank in South Point, Ohio, on Friday afternoon, police say.

The unidentified man allegedly walked into the U.S. Bank branch at 2 p.m., pulled a handgun on tellers and ordered them to hand over cash, reports WSAZ.

South Point Police Department says he then fled the building and escaped in an unknown vehicle, with more than $2,000.

No-one was injured in the robbery, reports The Herald-Dispatch.

The man's face was covered by the all-red mask worn by Ryan Reynolds in the new superhero movie.

He was wearing a black jacket, had a red backpack, and is described as white, weighing 200 pounds and between 5 foot 9 inches and 5 foot 11 inches tall.

"The suspect is considered armed and dangerous," South Police Police posted on Facebook.
