BOSTON (New York Times)\u2014 The teenage suspect in the Boston Marathon bombings, whose flight from the police after a furious gunfight overnight prompted an intense manhunt that virtually shut down the Boston area all day, was in serious condition at a Boston hospital Saturday morning after the police found him in nearby Watertown, Mass., officials said.<\/p>\n
The suspect, Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev, 19, was found hiding in a boat just outside the area where the police had been conducting door-to-door searches all day, the Boston police commissioner, Edward Davis, said at a news conference Friday night.<\/p>\n
\u201cA man had gone out of his house after being inside the house all day, abiding by our request to stay inside,\u201d Mr. Davis said, referring to the advice officials gave to residents to remain behind locked doors. \u201cHe walked outside and saw blood on a boat in the backyard. He then opened the tarp on the top of the boat, and he looked in and saw a man covered with blood. He retreated and called us.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOver the course of the next hour or so we exchanged gunfire with the suspect, who was inside the boat, and ultimately the hostage rescue team of the F.B.I. made an entry into the boat and removed the suspect, who was still alive,\u201d Mr. Davis said. He said the suspect was in \u201cserious condition\u201d and had apparently been wounded in the gunfight that left his brother dead.<\/p>\n
