'New Girl' star Zooey Deschanel's name was mistakenly identified as one of the two suspects in the Boston Marathon bombings on a local Fox News station.

While the radio show producer and writer was watching the manhunt for a second suspect unfold on Fox 4 Dallas-Fort Worth, the 33-year-old actress' name was misidentified in the closed captioning of the radio show as 19-year-old Dzhokhar A Tsarnaev, reported the Huffington Post.

"Marathon bombing, he is 19-year-old Zooey Deschanel," read the caption.

Tsarnaev was arrested after he was found hiding in a boat behind a home in Watertown, Massachusetts.
