Boston bomber arrest photo: A new photo of Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev has emerged of him being rushed in an ambulance the hospital.

The Associated Press captured the photo from a video after he was captured in Watertown, Mass.

On Friday night, another photo of the 19-year-old college student circulated across social media sites like Twitter, showing his apparent arrest.

In both photos, he appeared bloody and wounded.

On Friday, Boston and Watertown were locked down in order to carry out a massive police manhunt to find him.

But on Saturday, Tsarnaev was hospitalized and remained in serious condition and under heavy guard.

Gov. Deval Patrick said on Saturday that he hopes Tsarnaev “survives, because we have a million questions,” reported ABC News.

Tsarnaev was discovered in Watertown man David Henneberry’s houseboat parked in his backyard. Henneberry quickly called the police, and during a last showdown with police, the boat was shot up.

There was no immediate word on when Tsarnaev might be charged and what those charges would be. The twin bombings killed three people and wounded more than 180.

The most serious charge available to federal prosecutors would be the use of a weapon of mass destruction to kill people, which carries a possible death sentence. Massachusetts does not have the death penalty.

U.S. officials said an elite interrogation team would question the Massachusetts college student without reading him his Miranda rights, something that is allowed on a limited basis when the public may be in immediate danger, such as instances in which bombs are planted and ready to go off.

The American Civil Liberties Union expressed concern about that possibility. Executive Director Anthony Romero said the legal exception applies only when there is a continued threat to public safety and is “not an open-ended exception” to the Miranda rule, which guarantees the right to remain silent and the right to an attorney.
