According to eyewitnesses of the incident, during the attack, panic and stampede began in the car. People tried to break into neighboring cars, but the doors to one of them were closed. Before arriving at the station, the train stopped for a few minutes, because there was another train in front of it. The area around 36th Street and the nearby subway station was cordoned off. The FBI, police and other intelligence agencies worked on the spot. In the early hours, there were reports of alleged unexploded ordnance in Brooklyn, but the police did not find any explosive devices.
Local authorities are asking people to be vigilant and report all the details that may help in the capture of the suspect. A key to a van rented in Philadelphia was found at the crime scene. Later, a U-Haul car was found in Brooklyn, but the perpetrator was not near it. It is assumed that they may be 62-year-old Frank James. At the moment, the motives of his actions, as well as his whereabouts, remain unknown.
