Authorities say they have arrested an Essex County bank robbery suspect seen on surveillance video as a red dye pack exploded during his escape.

Newark public safety officials said a police detective spotted 27-year-old Esau Grant Monday on the street. He faces robbery and weapons charges, authorities said.

Officials allege that Grant walked into a Capitol One bank on Springfield Avenue Saturday and passed a note saying he had a gun and demanding money.

Authorities say that surveillance video shows Grant outside, and as he starts to cross a street beyond the bank property, the dye pack sends up a red cloud and he runs north out of camera view.

Grant was charged with robbery and several other charges.
