Seventeen people have been injured in a shooting during the morning rush hour at a New York City subway station.
The unidentified attacker detonated a smoke bomb and opened fire at Brooklyn’s 36th Street station at 08:30 local time (12:30 GMT).
Images from the scene showed bloodied passengers lying on the floor of the smoke-filled station.
Officials are appealing for information about the gunman, who fled the scene and is still at large.
“An individual donned a gas mask, he then opened fire striking multiple people on the subway and on the platform.” New York City Police Commissioner Keechant Sewell said.
