The bank employee simply stepped away, and the nonplussed bandit fled, police said.

Jackson stood by the door while one of the men grabbed the clerk and pulled a gun, sources said.

Brooklyn
* A man was shot dead outside a Crown Heights housing project early yesterday.

He was rushed to Coney Island Hospital where he was pronounced dead, officials said.
Investigators were checking out people who knew Tolstykh's routine, because he carried as much as $20,000 to work on Saturdays, the sources said.
Detectives did not find money on the Woodmere, LI, resident's body and it was unclear how much he had been carrying.
* A tenant was busted after he slugged his female landlord in the face during an argument over the alleged lack of heat at his Bushwick apartment, cops said.

The landlord visited at 10:30 p.m. to inspect the problem and found Rivera in the basement tinkering with the boiler, said cops.
She confronted him and, after a brief argument, he took a swing, sources said.
Rivera surrendered to 83rd Precinct cops Thursday, said a spokesman for DA Charles Hynes.source - http://www.nypost.com/news/nypdblotter/nypdblotter.htm / sunday, march 15, 2009
