This video posted on Instagram may be the man that shut down Boylston Street. 

This all comes one year after two bombs near the Boston Marathon finish line killed three people and injured more than 260. President Barack Obama and the White House observed a moment of silence at 2:49 p.m. ET to honor the victims of last year's tragedy. 

Update: Kathryn Sotnik of New England Cable News tweeted this image of the barefoot man being taken into custody.
