Subways Back At ‘Full Service’ Amid Manhunt For Brooklyn Attacker

Updated 9:10 a.m. with Mayor Eric Adams' announcement that Frank R. James is now considered a suspect.

NEW YORK CITY — New York City’s subway system is back up the morning after a shocking attack that left 23 straphangers shot or otherwise injured, officials said.

“We're running full service on all of our lines after NYPD completed its investigation at 36 St in Brooklyn,” New York City Transit tweeted.

“B/W trains are running on their regular routes, and all D/N/R trains are stopping at 36 St.”

Mayor Eric Adams said Wednesday morning Frank R. James, 62, is now considered a suspect in the attack. James was previously identified as a person of interest in the shooting.

"Again, Frank James is a suspect in yesterday’s shooting," tweeted Fabien Levy, the mayor's press secretary. "Let me make clear: He is NOT in NYPD custody at this time."

The manhunt for James continued as straphangers returned to subways for their Wednesday commute, authorities said.

NYPD officials late Tuesday stopped short of calling James a suspect. But they said they tied him to a U-Haul key found in a N train car in which a gas-masked shooter detonated two smoke grenades before firing at least 33 shots as it rolled in 36th Street station in Sunset Park.

Ten straphangers were shot and 13 others suffered injuries ranging from smoke inhalation, falls and panic attacks, authorities said.

Subway service may have been back up, but delays unrelated to the attack were still scattered across the system.

The 3 line was partly suspended as EMS crews and NYPD officers responded to a person in need at Sutter Avenue and Rutland Road, according to the MTA.

A disruptive person caused delays on the G line at Flushing Avenue, the MTA reported. And the Q train was delayed because of crew shortages, according to the MTA.
