NEW YORK (AP) — As the year began, New Yorkers shuddered at a subway crime straight out of urban nightmares — the death of a woman shoved onto the tracks. The new mayor vowed to “make sure New Yorkers feel safe in our subway system.” But Tuesday saw an attack that evoked many riders’ deepest fears. A gunman shot and wounded at least 10 people on a rush-hour train car in Brooklyn. It was a searing reminder of the city’s battle with gun violence and the specter of terror-like attacks that hangs over New York and its subway system. On Wednesday, authorities say they arrested a suspect, Frank R. James.
