Brooklyn Subway Attack: Suspect Arrested, Charged With Terror
On April 13, a man was arrested for shooting ten people on a Brooklyn subway train. After a daylong manhunt and a tipster's call, police found him on a Manhattan street and charged him with terrorism. Frank R. James, 62, was taken into custody about 30 hours after the carnage on a rush-hour train, which left 5 victims in critical condition and people around the city on edge.
He has been ranting online about racism and violence in the U.S. as well as his experiences with mental health care in New York City, and he has criticized Mr. Adams' policies on mental health and subway safety. Although the motive for the subway attack remains unclear and also there is no indication that James was connected to a terror group, either international or domestic.
As terrified riders fled the attack, Mr. James apparently hopped another train — the same one many were steered to for safety, police said. He got out at the next station, disappearing into the nation’s most populous city. Police launched a massive effort to find him, releasing his name and issuing cellphone alerts.
