Authorities shut down part of busy Washington Street Saturday afternoon to investigate. Witnesses said the situation was difficult to watch.

"It's sad because he has to live with those injuries and feelings. His family has to live with that," said Shaumba-Yandje Dibinga, the owner of a nearby dance studio. "The people that saw it and the bus driver. It's just very, very sad."

Officials say the case remains under investigation and no charges have been filed. More details were not immediately available.
