The suspect in a New York City subway shooting that left 10 people wounded and traumatised the city was arrested by police on Wednesday and charged in federal court.
Frank James, 62, had been sought by police after Tuesday’s attack. He was apprehended without incident in Manhattan’s East Village after a tip, police said. Several US media outlets later reported that the tip came via a phone call from James himself.
James, who has previously posted rants on social media about race, mental health and other matters, was upgraded from a “person of interest” to a suspect in the investigation on Wednesday morning. He was the subject of an extensive manhunt that involved hundreds of detectives.
