BREAKING: Subway shooting in Brooklyn leaves man fighting for life, suspect questioned

Bullets flew at a Brooklyn subway station on Thursday afternoon, leaving a man gravely wounded, police reported.

Law enforcement sources said the shooting occurred on board a Manhattan-bound A train at the Hoyt-Schermerhorn Streets station in Downtown Brooklyn at about 4:45 p.m. on March 14.

EMS rushed the victim, age unknown, to NewYork-Presbyterian Brooklyn Methodist Hospital, where he is listed in very critical condition with life-threatening injuries.

According to published reports, police apprehended a suspect for questioning and recovered a firearm. 

NYPD officials are expected to provide further details about the shooting at a press conference later on Thursday evening.

The MTA, meanwhile, reports severe disruptions on the A train amidst the evening rush as a result of the ongoing police investigation. 

As of 5:30 p.m., New York City Transit reported on X (the platform formerly known as Twitter) all Manhattan-bound A train service was suspended between Broadway Junction and Jay Street-MetroTech. C train service was fully suspended, and all G trains were skipping the Hoyt-Schermerhorn Streets station.

The shooting occurs at a time in which subway crime is under the public microscope. Both the NYPD, the MTA Police and National Guard have surged in upwards of 2,000 combined members underground daily to help stop and deter crime in the wake of three deadly shootings in the system earlier this year.

After a January spike, transit crime fell in February. Most of the more serious offenses underground involve property crimes such as robberies and grand larcenies.
