Man who dropped bomb bag 'looked right at me': victim Just before 3pm in Boston on Monday, the day of the explosion, Jeff Bauman was waiting among the crowd for his girlfriend to cross the finish line at the Boston Marathon. A man wearing a cap, sunglasses and a black jacket over a hooded sweatshirt looked at Mr Bauman, 27, and dropped a bag at his feet, his brother Chris Bauman, said in an interview. Two and a half minutes later, the bag exploded, tearing Jeff's legs apart. A picture of him in a wheelchair, bloodied and ashen, was broadcast around the world as he was rushed to Boston Medical Centre. He lost both legs below the knee. "He woke up under so much drugs, asked for a paper and pen and wrote: 'bag, saw the guy, looked right at me'," Chris said on Thursday in an interview. Those words may help crack the mystery of who perpetrated one of the highest-profile acts of terrorism in the US since the 2001 assault on New York City and the Washington area, one that killed three people and wounded scores. While still in intensive care, Jeff gave the FBI a description of the man he saw, his brother said. Jeff's information helped investigators narrow down whom to look for in hours of video of the attack, he said. The bureau released video images of two men on Friday. Both men had hooded sweatshirts under dark jackets on; one was wearing a light-coloured baseball cap turned backward on his head, while the other wore a dark baseball cap facing forward. Both were carrying large backpacks. "I've had many times alone with him and yes, he told me every single detail," Chris said. Paul Bresson, a spokesman for the FBI in Washington, declined to comment on specific tips in the continuing investigation. Two FBI agents interviewed at the Boston office declined to confirm or deny the account. On Monday, Remy Lawler, 25, was standing with Jeff Bauman, said her father Arthur Lawler. Shortly before the explosion, Ms Lawler, who is the room-mate of Jeff's girlfriend Erin Hurley moved closer to the finish line, away from Jeff and another friend, to take better photographs. She suffered a large shrapnel wound. Shortly after, Ms Lawler called her mother's mobile phone and left a message in which she cried: "Mum! Mum! Medics could be heard telling her, "You're going to be all right," her father said. "She feels guilty about a lot of this - that she wasn't with her friends," Mr Lawler said. It would take hours before the Bauman family knew what had happened to Jeff. They learnt about it the way much of the world did: the grisly image on television of their son being wheeled from the scene, his lower legs destroyed. Erika Schneider, Jeff and Chris' sister, saw it first. "She called my mum, freaking out," Chris said, who was working at a McDonald's near their home in Concord, New Hampshire, when his mother called him. "Chris, you have to sprint home," she said. Something's happened.
