Frank James, 62, was named by cops as the sole person of interest after a man in a gas mask, helmet and neon construction vest threw two smoke grenades and opened fire on straphangers while riding the Manhattan-bound N train just before 8:30 a.m. Tuesday.

James rented a U-Haul van linked to the attack, authorities said during a news conference on Tuesday.
The suspect had posted several rambling conspiracy-laden YouTube videos, railing against the city’s mental health services, complaining about race issues and speaking violently against people he believes wronged him.
He railed against Mayor Eric Adams in one of his rants, where he claims a race war will follow the Ukraine conflict.
