A Boston man was arrested Monday afternoon following a bank robbery in the Back Bay, Boston police said.

Andrade Jamall, 38, of Hyde Park, was charged with unarmed bank robbery and possession of class A drugs, police said in a statement. He will be arraigned in Boston Municipal Court.

Boston police responded late Monday morning to a call reporting a robbery in progress inside the Santander Bank at 800 Boylston St., police said.
