Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was transferred from a civilian hospital to a federal medical detention center this morning, authorities said.
The suspected Boston Marathon bomber was moved from a hospital to the Federal Medical Center Devens — a prison for inmates requiring long-term medical care, the US Marshals Service said Friday.
Tsarnaev, 19, is recovering from a gunshot wound to the throat and other injuries suffered during his attempted getaway.
The Massachusetts resident is accused of setting off shrapnel-packed pressure-cooker bombs that killed three people and wounded more than 260 near the finish line of the Boston Marathon April 15.
His brother Tamerlan, also believed to be involved with the attack, was killed in a subsequent firefight with police. Dzhokhar was taken into custody Friday after an all-day manhunt.
The Boston Globe revealed shocking new details about the carjacking that ultimately brought down the terror brothers.
The victim, described as a 26-year-old Chinese entrepreneur and identified only as Danny, detailed his harrowing 90 minutes as a hostage before his daring escape.
Danny had pulled over to answer a text when a dark car pulled up behind him and a man dressed in dark clothing walked over and rapped on his window.
The Globe reports that the man reached his arm through Danny’s open window, unlocked the door, climbed in and shoved a silver gun in his face.
“Don’t be stupid,” the man who would later be identifed Tamerlan said to him. When Tamerlan asked the man if he knew about the Boston Marathon attack, he told Danny, “I did that. And I just killed a policeman in Cambridge.”
The cop was later identified as slain MIT officer Sean Collier, who was allegedly ambushed by the brothers after their photos were made public.
Danny first drove with Tamerlan and Dzhokhar following in the sedan before both brothers joined him in the car.
“Death is so close to me,” Danny told The Globe he believed at the time. “I don’t want to die. I have a lot of dreams that haven’t come true yet.”
While in the car, Danny said he overheard the brothers discussing plans for New York.
Yesterday, city officials revealed that the brothers had specific plans for setting off blasts in Times Square before a shootout with cops forced them to lob their explosives at authorities in Watertown instead of tourists in the Big Apple.
Danny realized his chance for escape when the Shell gas station he was ordered to pull into was cash only, forcing one of the brothers inside the shop.
As Dzhokhar went inside, Tamerlan briefly lowered the gun, according to the report.
Danny told the newspaper he quickly unbuckled his seat belt and sprinted from the car, running sideways to make it harder to be shot.
Danny said he quickly reached a Mobil gas station across the street where the clerk called 911.
It has been reported that authorities were able to track the brothers down because Danny left his cell phone in the car during his escape.
A wild shootout followed that left Tamerlan dead and Dzhokhar a fugitive before a massive manhunt led to his capture Friday night.
