Wounded MBTA Officer Released from Hospital

Winchester native and injured MBTA Officer Richard Donohue Jr. was released from a Charlestown hospital Friday, according to a WHDH-TV report.

“The doctors that were out in Mount Auburn that day, I guess I was lucky they call it the dream team, they say they never worked together and that particular day they were working together, they pieced me back together,” Donohue said in the report.

Donohue, 33, of Woburn, left Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital in Charlestown, where he has been recovering after being shot in the leg during a shoot-out with the Boston Marathon bombing suspects in Watertown in late April.

“I can take a few steps on my own. I can walk with a cane. And so I’m better in some regards but I still have a long way to go,” Donohue said in the report.

Kim Donohue, an Exeter native and wife of Richard, said when her husband does go back to work it will be a proud but tough day, according to the report.

“I keep saying if I was to wake up in my bed and this was all a dream that would make more sense than it not being a dream because it’s just surreal, everything that’s happened,” she said in the report.
