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.
The arrest of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, signaled the end of five days of terror set-off by the double bombing at the marathon finish line.
The mayor of Boston, Thomas Menino, was quoted by the Boston Globe as taking to the police scanner to exclaim, 'We got him'.
'I have never loved this city and its people more than I do today. Nothing can defeat the heart of this city .. nothing.'
Relieved law enforcement officers began cheering and clapping after Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was arrested and thousands of jubilant members of the public took to the streets to salute their hard work.
The terror suspect is now in a serious condition at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center.
He lost a great deal of blood from his injuries and is still too ill to speak to officers. Initial efforts will be focused on keeping him alive so he can be questioned in full.
