Cambridge, Quincy Bank Robbery Suspect Faces Multiple Charges

Cambridge, MA - A man whose alleged getaway attempt briefly stalled a Red Line train Monday in Cambridge will be held on a $75,000 bail, a judge ruled Tuesday.

A defense attorney in the case said the suspect, 35-year-old Matthew Temple, attempted suicide while in custody, lunging for a police officer's gun, FOX 25 reports. A judge ordered him kept under observation and held on bail, the station reported.

Cambridge police arrested Temple with assistance from the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority's police force Monday at the Central Square T station. Police said he was trying to make a run for it after robbing a Cambridge bank.

Quincy Police also have a warrant out for Temple, in connection to a bank robbery there.

Quincy Police Captain John Dougan told The Boston Globe he hopes to have Temple brought to Quincy District Court for an arraignment soon, on charges of armed burglary.

Fox 25 reports Temple, from Rochester, N.H., is connected with additional New England robberies, and could face charges tied to each.
