The suspect in the New York subway shooting was arrested on April 13 and charged with terrorism.
Frank James, 62, was stopped at 1:42 p.m. at the corner of St. Mark’s Place and First Avenue in Manhattan by New York police officers.
A tipster alerted police to James’s location, New York Police Commissioner Keechant Sewell told a briefing.
“My fellow New Yorkers, we got him,” New York Mayor Eric Adams said.
James was taken into custody without incident.
He has already been charged with violating a federal law that prohibits terrorist attacks and other violence against mass transportation systems, and he’ll face additional counts, according to Breon Peace, U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of New York.
A man authorities say is James donned a gas mask on the morning of April 12 and opened two canisters that filled a Manhattan-bound “N” train with smoke before opening fire as a train pulled into the 36th Street Station in Brooklyn.
Shots can be heard in video footage taken by witnesses that also shows people fleeing the train.
