"Jeff Bauman, whose legs were blown away in the first explosion, told investigators that he stared right into the eyes of Tamerlan Tsarnaev, the man who tried to kill him.

Bauman lost both his legs below the knew in the blast and a picture of him in a wheelchair, pale and bloodied was broadcast around the world.

But just before 2.50 p.m. on Monday, Bauman was waiting in the crowd for his girlfriend to cross the finish line when a man wearing a cap, sunglasses and a black jacket over a hooded sweatshirt looked at Jeff, 27, and dropped a bag at his feet.

Two and a half minutes later the bag exploded - destroying Jeff's legs - but Jeff had seen a man who matched suspect one's description.

'He woke up under so much drugs, asked for a paper and pen and wrote, ‘bag, saw the guy, looked right at me,’ Chris Bauman said yesterday in an interview given to Bloomberg....

Jeff managed to give an interview and description to the FBI - which helped them narrow down the man they were looking for." (item near end of UK Daily Mail article)
