A bank robbery suspect in Cambridge took to the rooftops today in an attempt to elude the police that were pursuing him.
Police said that after the robbery on Massachusetts Avenue in Central Square the suspect ran through the nearby neighborhood, chased by police through various backyards until they lost sight of him.
The suspect was found in a house on Norfolk Street, where he went to the roof in an attempt to evade the police. After crisis negotiators spoke to the suspect through a second-floor apartment window, he came down from the roof and was taken into custody, police said in a statement.
James Harrel, 40, of Arlington was charged with unarmed robbery, breaking and entering, resisting arrest, and disorderly conduct.

Rebecca Linder, 28, who lives in the neighborhood, said a crowd of 15-20 people gathered to watch the drama. She said she saw the end, when the suspect climbed down a ladder from the roof on his own accord.
“I just saw someone climbing down the ladder slowly, police all around. The street was blocked off, helicopter overhead. Then I saw him being led away in handcuffs,” she said. source
