CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- An accused bank robber made a dramatic dash from police Wednesday, climbing out windows and jumping from roof-to-roof.

Joseph Matz, 40, is accused of holding up the Sovereign Back at 515 Massachusetts Ave. in Central Square.

He allegedly passed a note to a teller, demanding cash. As Matz fled the bank, a pack of ink burst inside the bag containing the stolen money. The explosion left the suspect’s pants stained with blue dye.
