#3 can be correct, but you'll more often hear
"I witnessed him doing xxx when he was injured."
or
"I saw him when he was injured" / "I saw him while he was still injured."
This is different from "I witnessed him get/getting injured," which means you saw how he was injured/when he was injured.

@nesmabythesea Thank you for your answer, and #1 and #2 correct? I'm practicing the verb 'witness'. :)
