The man in the blue t-shirt in this photo is former New England Patriots guard, Joe Andruzzi, a 3-time Super Bowl winner. He was pictured helping victims in the aftermath of yesterday's Boston Marathon bombings.

Andruzzi was attending the event as his charitable foundation which assists cancer patients and their families had organised a team to run in the marathon.

The former Patriots lineman later released a statement about the photograph:

Marathon Monday should be about uplifting stories, personal challenges and fundraising milestones, but today’s bombings irrevocably changed that. While I appreciate the interest in hearing our perspective on today's horrific events, the spotlight should remain firmly on the countless individuals - first responders, medics, EMTs, runners who crossed the finish line and kept on running straight to give blood, and the countless civilians who did whatever they could to save lives. They were the true heroes. Our thoughts prayers go out to all those affected by this senseless tragedy.

He can be seen briefly in the footage below running to the woman's assistance.
