A Saskatoon bank was robbed at gunpoint Wednesday afternoon, police say.

They say two men armed with a handgun came into a bank on the 2800 block of Eighth Street E. They demanded cash and assaulted an employee. He received minor injuries.

The two men drove away in a newer, dark-coloured Jeep Grand Cherokee-style SUV. They both wore masks, sunglasses, grey clothing and brightly coloured shoes.

The pair are described as young, roughly six-feet-tall with slim builds. Police have released surveillance images.

Police continue to investigate.
