The Massachusetts college student wanted in the Boston Marathon bombing was captured wounded, but alive after hiding out in a boat parked in a backyard on Friday evening.

Boston police confirmed that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev has been apprehended, taking to social media to announce, 'Suspect in custody. Officers sweeping the area. Stand by for further info.'

The mayor of Boston, Thomas Menino, was quoted by the Boston Globe as taking to the police scanner to exclaim, 'We got him'.
