Dramatic new photos show Boston bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev with his face bloodied as he surrenders.
Tsarnaev appears disoriented, his face illuminated by a floodlight, as
he emerges from a boat in a suburban backyard moments before his arrest.Some images show him slumped over the side of the boat, his arm covering his face.
The pictures, provided by a state police officer, were the second set of the hunt for Tsarnaev to be published by Boston Magazine.
Authorities say Tsarnaev and his older brother Tamerlan masterminded the April 15 Boston Marathon bombings, which left three people dead and more than 260 injured.
Tsarnaev, 20 has pleaded not guilty to charges including using a weapon of mass destruction to kill. He is being held at a prison medical facility in Devens, Massachusetts.
His older brother died in a shoot-out with police.
The surgeon who treated Tsarnaev after his capture said he had been shot in the face and had a fractured skull, among other injuries.
Sergeant Sean Murphy took photos the April night police cornered Tsarnaev in a dry-docked boat in Watertown, just outside Boston.
He was not authorised to release the pictures but said he was angry about a Rolling Stone magazine cover he felt glamorised Tsarnaev.
