The father of a man who was photographed being pushed away from the Boston Marathon bombing
in a wheelchair says his son has had both legs amputated.
Jeff Bauman says his son, 27-year-old Jeff Bauman Jr., is the man in an Associated Press photo taken shortly after the bombing.
His father says on his Facebook page that his son had to have both
lower limbs removed at Boston Medical Center because of extensive
vascular and bone damage.
He says his son also had to have another surgery because of fluid in his abdomen.
Bauman says his son was there to watch his girlfriend run. She was not hurt.
He says his son was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
