Accused of Brooklyn subway shooting, Frank James was a troubled loner with a controversial past who became estranged from his family years before this week's horrific attack, reports New York Post.

A pair of sharp-eyed New Yorkers called 911 after spotting James strolling through the East Village. He briefly sat down at an outdoor cafe before the NYPD broke in and handcuffed him soon after.

Federal prosecutors charged 62-year-old James with crimes related to terrorism. On Tuesday morning, he threw smoke bombs and fired 33 shots on the N train bound for Manhattan, injuring 10 people with gunshot wounds and another 19 with smoke inhalation or panic injuries. The story shook an already turbulent city, which was reeling from a citywide surge in crime.

James has been described by those who know him as quiet and unassuming. But he also has a long criminal record, dating back to 1984, mostly for petty theft.

On the subject: Shooting in the New York subway: the suspect shot dozens of times, they are still looking for him

James, 62, was arrested at least 12 times between 1984 and 1998 on charges of burglary, possession of a burglar's tools and criminal sexual conduct. However, the outcome of these cases is unknown to journalists.

The suspected shooter also "has a history of terrorist threats in New Jersey." But he has no criminal records in that state.
