Carlos Arredondo – Boston Marathon Hero In A Cowboy Hat

Just seconds after the tragic bombing attacks at the Boston Marathon Monday hundreds of heroes jumped in to help the injured. One hero, Carlos Arredondo, jumped the fence and began using his clothes and towels to stop the victims’ bleeding. Arredondo’s cowboy hat and long, dark hair made him easy to spot in several traumatic images. In this graphic photo by Charles Kupa, Arredondo is seen pinching an artery on a severed leg of 27-year-old Jeff Bauman Jr. while pushing him in a wheelchair. In an interview on his way home, a visibly shaken Arredando describes his courageous effort to help the injured. Jeff Bauman Jr. is in critical but stable condition at Boston Medical Center after losing both legs.
