Brooklyn subway shooting suspect arrested

The suspect in the Brooklyn subway shooting called in a tip to Crime Stoppers that led to his capture, two law enforcement sources tell CNN.

Frank James called in the tip to the police and told them he was at a McDonald’s on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, the sources confirmed.

At an earlier news conference Wednesday, an NYPD official said the tip indicated the suspect was at a McDonald's on 6th Street and 1st Avenue.

Police responded to the McDonald's and did not find James, the police official said.

But upon driving around they spotted him on the corner of St. Mark's Place and 1st Avenue and arrested him, officials said at the news conference.
