The man is clamping on to the femoral artery of the injured runner with his right hand. The man in the wheelchair lost both of his legs in the explosion at the Boston Marathon.
I have seen one other person that shared the same skin tone as the man who is in the wheelchair. And he was dead, pulled out of the wreckage of 9/11.
The man in the wheelchair is dying. The man, Carlos Arredondo, who is a peace activist and was at the Race to protest the war in Afghanistan, is saving his life.
John 15:13 says "What greater love than this---for a man to lay down his life for the life of another".
And while viral, this gentle quote from Mr. Rogers is worth repeating....
“When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, ‘Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.’ To this day, especially in times of ‘disaster,’ I remember my mother’s words, and I am always comforted by realizing that there are still so many helpers – so many caring people in this world.”

What cowards to attack on Patriot's Day.
"Vengeance is mine" sayeth the Lord
and I trust in that....
