A US bank robber suspect was caught after his ill gotten gains exploded down the front of his trousers.
The money he had stolen from the National City Bank in Columbus, Ohio, had included an explosive dye pack.
It went off shortly after the man stuffed the money down the front of his trousers and walked out of the bank.
Police spotted the 40-year-old about a block away, walking strangely and in obvious pain.
Officers stopped him and discovered he had been injured when the dye pack exploded near his groin.
Police spokesman Sgt Brent Mull said the man had been charged with aggravated robbery.
