We noted that police launched an urgent manhunt for the killer in the New York subway attack. In it, 10 were killed and several others were hurt.
Frank James was a suspect in the attacks. The man rented an U-Haul to police. Initially, they called James a “person of interest” but then this morning, Mayor Eric Adams announced they were now calling him a “suspect.”

He was also reported by police to have been concerned in the future, but he was released after being interrogated in 2019.
According to reports, he’s now in police custody.
James posted a number of disturbing social media videos and photos related to murdering people, racism, and even praises for Fidel Castro, as I reported last night. He seemed a very disturbed individual, so it’s a good thing that he’s been nabbed.
Per Pete Williams
Frank James is being held in Manhattan. According to police sources, Frank James was detained at St. Marks Place and 1st Avenue. According to police sources, the suspect was implicated in some type of stabbing. The Suspect is now at the precinct of local police.
