ONE of the suspects from the Boston marathon bombing has reportedly been arrested.

"One Marathon bombing suspect has been caught, and another is on the loose in Watertown after a firefight with police, officials said", the Boston Globe has tweeted.

The Globe has sourced the information to an official with knowledge of the investigation.

"Another remains on the loose in Watertown after a firefight with police. Authorities have established a 20-block perimeter as they search for him," the Globe said in a report online.

It's believed the man was arrested during a major police operation in the Boston area town of Watertown.

The shooting and major police operation come just days after twin bombings at the Boston Marathon finish line killed three people, wounded more than 180 others and led to an increase in security in the region.

The FBI earlier on Thursday released images of two men they believed were suspects.

Hours later, a police officer at the prestigious Massachusetts Institute of Technology died after being shot "multiple" times late on Thursday night local time.

Heavily armed police immediately launched a major manhunt after the killing.

Shortly after, gunfire and explosions erupted in streets in Watertown, north of the university.

"There were blasts, it could have been grenades," local resident Adam Brown told AFP.

The NBC-WJAR channel showed film of a man lying on the ground in a street in the town and surrounded by police.

Authorities made no immediate link between the incidents.
