A gunman in a gas mask and construction vest set off a smoke grenade and fired a barrage of bullets in a rush-hour subway train.

In another video, smoke and people pour out of a subway car, some limping. The federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives has completed an urgent trace to identify the gun’s manufacturer, seller and initial owner. It left some New Yorkers jittery about riding the nation’s busiest subway system and prompted officials to increase policing at transportation hubs from Philadelphia to Connecticut. At least one person collapsed on the platform. The attack made the subway a scene of horror: a smoke-filled car with at least 33 rounds of gunfire going off, police said. Five people were in critical condition but expected to survive.

The Democratic official was accused in an indictment of participating in a scheme to obtain campaign contributions from a real estate developer.

The terms of his release call for his travel to be restricted and bar him from returning to the state capitol in Albany. He was released and bail was set at $250,000. Mr Benjamin was accused in an indictment of participating in a scheme to obtain campaign contributions from a real estate developer in exchange for his agreement to use his influence as a state senator to get a $50,000 grant of state funds for a nonprofit organisation the developer controlled.

Prosecutors say politician 'abused his authority as a New York State senator, engaging in a bribery scheme using public funds for his own corrupt purposes'

Prosecutors said in a November indictment that Mr Migdol began directing fraudulent campaign donations to Mr Benjamin in October 2019 – a month after he filed paperwork to run for comptroller. Mr Benjamin is likely to remain on the primary ballot in June, when he’s set to face two opponents. But when she took office last year, she promised to put an end to inappropriate behaviour in Albany, the New York state capital. New Yorkers will head to the polls later this year. The investor was arrested in November last year on federal charges. Mr Benjamin surrendered early on Tuesday following an indictment relating to a federal bribery conspiracy.

Democrat Brian Benjamin pleads not guilty in Manhattan to several charges, as arrest creates political crisis for governor Kathy Hochul.

Hochul in September plucked Benjamin, then a state lawmaker, to serve as second-in-command when she became governor, taking over from Cuomo. Hochul was Cuomo’s lieutenant governor. While the legal process plays out, it is clear to both of us that he cannot continue to serve as lieutenant governor. He was released and bail was set at $250,000.

New York Lt Gov. Brian Benjamin has resigned after he was arrested Tuesday over campaign finance fraud-related charges.

Benjamin, a graduate of Brown University and Harvard Business School, ran unsuccessfully for New York City comptroller this year. He took over as governor in 2007 when Gov. Eliot Spitzer resigned in a sex scandal. 'I have accepted Brian Benjamin's resignation effective immediately,' she said in a statement.

A manhunt has been launched for the shooter who wounded 16 people in the horror attack during the city's rush hour at 8.30am.

The attack on Tuesday brought to life a horror that the city had long avoided: a mass shooting on the subway.

Ensuring a safe subway system has been part of a strategy to lure people back to offices, and tourists back to the city. Video captured by riders and people on the platform showed the familiar space of a subway car transformed into a trap. Nayah Martin, 22, who uses the 36th Street station to get to her job at a surgery center nearby, was planning on taking an Uber. “It spooked me,” Ms. Martin said. “I’m not trying to stay on the subway.” Ridership had begun to tick up: For the third week of March — the most recent for which statistics are available — the subway averaged about 3.2 million riders per weekday, about 58 percent of the prepandemic average. “In a mass shooting, there is a lot of attention focused on people who are killed or who are injured, and rightfully so,” she said. Subway ridership has been hobbled by the shift to remote work. Mayor Eric Adams had vowed to crack down on subway violence, and the shooting came amid what was already an increased police presence. And in an instant, it turned the subway — New York City’s quotidian icon — into a bloody scene of horror. “There is a heightened sense of insecurity that results from these type of attacks, because it is easy for us to relate to them, because we can see ourselves in them.” In 2021, rates of violent crime in the subway per million weekday passengers spiked almost across the board compared with 2019, before the pandemic. Their subway, once the target of mundane gripes over tardiness and trash, had become the latest symbol of a city frayed by violence.

That key led investigators to James, who has addresses in Philadelphia and Wisconsin, NYPD Chief of Detectives James Essig said. “I’m just grateful to be alive,” said passenger Jordan Javier, who thought the first popping sound he heard was a book dropping. The gunman sent off smoke grenades in a crowded subway car and then fired at least 33 shots with a 9mm handgun, police said. There’s nothing going to stop that,” James said in one video. At least a dozen others who escaped gunshot wounds were treated for smoke inhalation and other injuries.

He alleges that Mr Adams cannot tackle crime effectively on the subway. Mr James also references his "life of crime back in the 90s" when he was "on welfare". There are also said to be ties to New York. A 57-year-old homeless suspect was later arrested. Mr James then references a series of people he says were "supposed to be helping me" but who, he alleges, "made me worse". A man previously described as a "person of interest" in subway shootings in New York is now said by police to be a "suspect".
