NYPD says shots were fired at Bronx subway station, but no injuries were reported as city reels from recent subway shooting
- Police said gunshots were fired at a Bronx, New York train station Saturday morning.
- The incident happened at 183rd Street station, NBC New York reported.
Police said gunshots were fired into a train car at a New York City subway station platform early Saturday morning.
NBC New York reported that there were no injuries in connection to this incident that occurred at the 183rd Street station in the Bronx on the 4 train platform.
The report said officers responded to the scene around 2 a.m. and discovered four shell casings on the train platform.
According to the report, two people believed to have been involved— a woman and a man in their 20s — left the scene.
The NYPD did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
The incident comes days after a man opened fire at the 36th Street subway station in Brooklyn during rush hour on Tuesday, leaving ten people shot and over a dozen others injured. The suspect in that case, identified by officials as Frank James, was arrested more than 24 hours later on Wednesday afternoon in the East Village.
Officials said James set off two smoke grenades and started firing as a Manhattan-bound train pulled into the station.
James, 62, faces a count of committing terrorist attacks and other violence against a mass transit system. He faces life behind bars.
Officials said five people who tipped authorities about James' whereabouts are set to split the $50,000 reward.
"Witnesses who came forward with tips that helped detectives and federal agents put away the maniac accused of a horrific attack on our city acted the way we encourage New Yorkers to help each other – See Something, Say Something," MTA Chair and CEO Janno Lieber said in a statement.
