Officers were called to the Americus Hotel on Sixth Street and Hamilton Street around 10:35 p.m. Monday, Sept. 12, Allentown police said.
Hotel employees reportedly told police that a man -- later identified as Samuel Santiago-Delgado -- armed with a knife robbed the business and a guest in the lobby.
The 41-year-old man ran off, but was later spotted by officers, who led a foot chase on the 300 block of Linden Street, they said.
The man then jumped off a nearby bridge and landed in the creek below, where he was captured by officers, police said.
He was taken to a local hospital, where he was treated for minor injuries and released to police.
He was charged with robbery, simple assault, and theft.
