A man was needed in an assault on a subway train in Brooklyn that left 10 individuals injured by gunfire.

Frank James, 62, was arrested in Manhattan, the authority said. Further details, including the capturing agency, weren't quickly accessible.

Investigators had reported Tuesday evening that they were looking for James, who was believed to have leased a van potentially associated with the crime. By Wednesday morning, New York authorities said he was a suspect in the actual shooting.

James is associated with setting off smoke projectiles and shooting a handgun multiple times on a packed metro train advancing to the 36th Street station in Brooklyn's Sunset Park area. The assault left 29 individuals harmed, including 10 who were shot, however, none of the wounds give off an impression of being hazardous, authorities said. Five of the casualties were youngsters commuting to school, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said, as reported by CNN.

People were seen running to save their lives. Eyewitnesses said that the train was full of smoke. After this firing, at least 29 people were admitted to the hospital due to bullet injuries, smoke filling and other problems.
