Man wanted for removing knife from scene of police shooting at Brooklyn subway station

NEW YORK (1010 WINS) — Police on Tuesday released photos of a man accused of taking a knife from the scene of the police-involved shooting in Brooklyn on Sunday that wounded 4 people.

The suspect allegedly removed a knife from the active crime scene on an L train at the Sutter Avenue train station in Brownsville—shortly after police opened fire around 3 p.m . on a different suspect, 37, who allegedly threatened them with a knife.

The 37-year-old suspect was hit several times and remained hospitalized Monday. One passenger, a 49-year-old man, was struck in the head and was hospitalized in critical condition. Another, a 26-year-old woman suffered a graze wound. A police officer was hit under his armpit and a bullet lodged in his back, but he is expected to make a full recovery.

The suspect in the knife removal was last observed in front of 480 Sutter Ave.

Anyone with information in regard to this incident is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477).
