Armed suspect holding multiple hostages inside Wells Fargo branch in Arlington, Virginia 

Just one day after an armed gunman opened fire at a bank in Kentucky, another armed suspect has been arrested after holding multiple people hostage at a bank in Virginia.

A SWAT team was caught on camera hauling the suspect out of the Wells Fargo on Washington Boulevard in Arlington just after 4pm after safely evacuating an unknown number of hostages.

Officials have said the bank was robbed shortly after 3pm, authorities say, but the suspect — a man in his 20s — remained inside the bank.

He is said to have entered the bank, implied he had a weapon and demanded money. The suspect then barricaded himself inside the bank with multiple patrons and employees. 

Police soon swarmed the Wells Fargo, and just after 4pm, armed police officers were seen approaching the building.

Authorities said they received a call on Tuesday about an armed robbery at the bank at around 3.09pm.

When officers arrived at the scene moments later, they realized the suspect was still inside the bank holding an undetermined number of patrons and bank employees hostage. 

Shortly after 4pm, a group of heavily armed officers were seen approaching the bank and commanding those inside to come out with their hands up.

A man was seen being led out in handcuffs, ARL Now reports.
