Frank James, the man suspected in Tuesday’s Brooklyn subway shooting, appears to have uploaded videos to social media that show him ranting about violence, criticizing New York Mayor Eric Adams and sharing bigoted views.
James, 62, was identified as a suspect Wednesday in the morning rush-hour attack that left 10 people with gunshot wounds and at least a dozen others injured.
NBC News reports that James was taken into custody Wednesday afternoon.
According to NBC, police shared screenshot photos of James from the “prophetoftruth88” YouTube channel, which has now been disabled and all videos removed. The news network says James shared lengthy rants filled with profanity and expressed a desire to “exterminate” groups of people in one video.
“Mr. Mayor, I’m a victim of your mental health program,” James said in one lengthy video, according to several media outlets.
Lawmakers from both parties said Sunday they support congressional reviews of recent U.S. military strikes against vessels suspected of smuggling drugs.
