MTA officials announced on Wednesday morning that surveillance cameras in Brooklyn’s subway system captured photos of the man suspected in Tuesday’s carnage, Frank James, from three angles as the massive search is ongoing.
MTA manager Janno Lieber revealed the information during an interview with NY1, hours after his agency came under intense pressure in the immediate aftermath of the shooting when investigators discovered that one of the cameras in the 36th Street station wasn’t working, the New York Post reported.
“There was a server problem where the camera was working but somehow the Internet connection had failed,” Lieber told the station.
“We have so many cameras from so many different perspectives that are feeding the investigation.”
However, Lieber did not disclose which station’s security cameras had caught the suspect on tape or if the images showed the suspect before, during, or after the attack.
