NEW YORK -- The man who identified alleged Brooklyn subway shooter Frank R. James on the street and alerted police officers of his presence is speaking out.among unsuspecting New Yorkers in the East Village Wednesday.
"I see him, he have bag and he was walking on the sidewalk, he put the bag in the street," Tahhan said."People was walking behind him. I told them, 'Guys, keep far from him. Please, this guy is going to do something.' These people think that I am crazy. Nobody tries to believe me. I told them, 'Guys, trust me, this is the guy.' And I see the police walking from over there.
It's the eyes and instincts of New Yorkers, ingrained with"If you see something, say something," that helped get the fugitive into custody. Tahhan followed his gut and flagged down police officers who were patrolling in the area of St. Marks Place and First Avenue. Cell phone video shows James, wearing a blue shirt and a black baseball cap, calmly being walked to the squad car in handcuffs.
