The man charged in this week's Brooklyn subway attack has been ordered held without bail, with prosecutors saying he terrified the 'entire city.'
NEW YORK — The man accused of opening fire on a crowded subway train in Brooklyn was ordered held without bail as prosecutors told a judge Thursday he terrified all of New York City.
"The defendant terrifyingly opened fire on passengers on a crowded subway train, interrupting their morning commute in a way the city hasn't seen in more than 20 years," Assistant U.S. attorney Sara K. Winik said."The defendant's attack was premeditated, was carefully planned, and it caused terror among the victims and our entire city."
At the request of James' lawyers, Magistrate Roanne Mann said she would ask the federal Bureau of Prisons to provide James with"psychiatric attention," as well as magnesium tablets for leg cramps, at the federal lockup in Brooklyn where he's being held.
