This combination of undated photos shows Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, left, and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19. The FBI says the two brothers and suspects in the Boston Marathon bombing killed an MIT police officer, injured a transit officer in a firefight and threw explosive devices at police during a getaway attempt in a long night of violence that left Tamerlan dead and Dzhokhar still at large on Friday, April 19, 2013.

The man whose vehicle was allegedly stolen at gunpoint last week by Dzhokhar Tsarnaev and Tamerlan Tsarnaev heard the Boston Marathon bombing suspects say something related to New York City, John Miller of CBS News reported.

Reports emerging from the investigation have indicated that the brothers spent much of the ride speaking in a foreign language, presumably Russian. Compounding matters for investigators, the victim of the carjacking doesn’t speak much English. According to Miller, the victim could only make out one word that was uttered by the suspects: Manhattan.

Miller said that tip led the New York Police Department to scan the license plates of all vehicles entering the city, fearing that the brothers might have plans of leaving Boston for the nation’s largest metropolitan area.
