newscast. it's also always available on demand. thanks very much for watching. erin burnett outfront starts right now. next, breaking news. the suspect in the new york subway shooting calling the tipline himself that led to his capture. alerting police to his location as we are learning about the troubling moves he made in the hour before the attack. ukraine bracing for major offensive. russia threatening to strike decision making centers in kyiv. in a story you'll see on cnn on the front lines, the city under attack now surrounded on three sides. let's go outfront. wooe're learning the man

accused of opening fire called police on himself. you see him walk around the area, sat down for a bit. police swarming and just around 2:00 p.m., frank james was taken into custody. video capturing the moment that that happened and they put the handcuffs on him, his arrest taking place about 30 hours as he disguised himself as a subway worker, boarded a manhattan train and then opened fire inside a cramped subway car. in a moment i'll speak to a witness who was there when james was taken into custody achbds f -- and filmed it. he's at a storage facility filled with ammunition on monday

night. he can be seen driving a white uhaul into brooklyn. moments later a man believed to be james can be seen entering the sunbway. you see him with the two bags and the hard hat. roughly two hours have passed before police started receiving calls about a shooting. at 8:40 a.m., a surveillance camera captures man exiting the subway at 25th street which is one stop from the location of the attack itself. as officials search for a motive and whether or not james was plotting any additional attacks, we are learning he will make his first court appearance tomorrow. prosecutors are make it clear that james will be charged with terrorism.

if kwingted james could face a sentence of life in prison. what are you learning? >> reporter: police are telling me that james called on the tip line while sitting in the mcdonald's. then he left. it was an hour later when the police picked him up on the street as we know it. this is the culmination of a chaotic day and half for the nypd and federal partners and an investigation that spanned multiple states. the gunman now in police custody. >> 33 shots. less than 30 hours later, we're able to say we got him.

>> reporter: suources say he reported himself to police. police spotted him walking on a manhattan street. >> he was taken into custody without incident and transpored to an nypd facility. h will be charged with committing yesterday's appalling crime in brooklyn. authorities say it was james who set off smoke canisters and opened fire in a crowded car on tuesday morning. >> we used every resource to gather and process significant evidence that directly links mr. james to the shooting. we were able to shrink his world quickly. the gun was purchased by james in ohio in 2011. elevating him from a person of interest to a suspect. keys found at the crime scene led police to this uhaul van investigators say he rented in philadelphia.

his motive unclear. the latest video posted on monday where he talked about committing violence. >> i've been through a lot of [ bleep ] where i can say i wanted to kill people. i wanted to watch people die right in front of my face immediately. i thought about the fact i don't want to go to no [ bleep ] prison. >> reporter: also advocating for mass shootings on social media. >> we need to see more mass shootings. we need to see more. to make [ bleep ] understand, you're going down. it's not about the shooter. nope. it's not about the shooter. it's about the environment in which he has to exist. >> reporter: other video included james claiming he has post-traumatic stress and more rants about race, homeless people and the policies of mayor eric adams. >> we are watching signs around of us those leaping towards violent actions and we're

ignoring them. why aren't we identifying these dangerous threats. why aren't we being more proactive instead of waiting for this to happen? >> reporter: before the jgun jammed, ten people were shot and more than a dozen others were injured. >> i don't think i'll ever ride the train again. >> reporter: all are expected to recover physically but the mental toll will likely weigh on the victims and every day new yorkers for some time. >> we hope this arrest brings some solace to the victims and the people of the city of new york. there's still a lot of work to do. investigators have to continue to sift through the evidence that they have collected. still go through the social media to bring even more charges, maybe zero in on some kind of motive. we know he's got that one federal charge and he will be in federal court tomorrow.

erin. >> thank you very much. he witnessed the nypd arresting frank james today. thanks so much for telling me what you saw. you posted this video and it shows what happened. it shows frank james being taken into custody by the nypd. this is what you saw and filmed. what made you realize or think something big was happening and prompted you to take your phone out and start filming? >> first off thaing so much for having me. very much preernt it. i was just going for a walk on this beautiful day. might as well go out for a stroll and get a coffee. as i was walking back to my apartment on the corner of the avenue which is about quarter of the way from where i live, i saw a pretty large police presence. i figured something must be going on. i saw a lot of police officers

circling an individual. i took my phone out and started recording. >> he's the man the new york attorney general thanked for spotting james and calling into the tipline. he said he tried to warn people around him when he first realized it was james. here is what he said. >> i say, just listen to me one time. keep far from him. he think he doesn't do anything. he doesn't have heart, i think. >> he says he was struck that james seemed to be acting so normal. that he wasn't violent. what struck you? what can you tell us about frank james demeanor as you saw the arrest happen? >> it's probably one of the most shocking aspects of the whole thing. he seemed very calm and almost

accepting of the fact that he was going to jail. he was being arrested. i happen to make eye contact with him when i was filming that video and pit was a pretty eeri feeling. somebody who committed that act was casually strolling around new york in the middle of the day. you would think somebody like that would go into hiding. i'm glad he decided to make the decision to step outside, be out there. still a cscary thing. >> you mentioned that eye contact which stands out to me as you say it. how surprised were you or thrown were you to see suspect in your neigh neighborhood. >> it's hard to put into words. i go out with my friends and grocery shopping and think someone that dangerous could have been casually walking

around. thaengfully he was unarmed. look like-going to get a meal or whatever. once i realized there was nothing to worry about anymore, he's in custody brought a good sense of calm, for sure. >> all right. thanks so much. i really appreciate your taking the time to talk to me and sharing that video. >> can i say one more thing in. >> yes. >> i want to shout out to the city of new york. i think this really proves ou st -- how strong of a city we are. you saw the incident yesterday. new yorkers helping people, using their own clothes as tourn tourniquets. i want to shout out the whole city. >> thank you very much. appreciate that. >> thank you so much. take care. >> let's go to jim clemente. jim, you know you hear alexi tell us what he saw when frank james was arrested. sort of that, he was so struck by both of them, the calm that

he displayed in this moment. now we're learning he called crimestoppers himself. why do you think he did this? >> i think he wanted to be in control of his own arrest. he didn't have an escape plan. he committed cviolent act pps h left his key to his vehicle at the crime scene. his left his credit card. he probably didn't have enough money to get out of the city. that's why he was stuck here. the reason why he was calm, i think goes do his motive. i think this is what he was looking for. he was looking for a spotlight. he was looking for fplatform. this is somebody who would keep a list of the people he felt wronged him and eventually, ranting on the internet is one

thing but it wasn't enough for him. >> i want to ask you about that. it appeared the gun didn't work the way he thought it would. >> i don't know if he was trying to kill people. he was certainly trying to terrorize people. to be in a closed environment with dozens of people and shoot 33 times and only hit people ten times and most in their legs, he may not have been actually aiming to kill. he may been aiming to terrorize so that he could get this platform. >> now to that point that you mention the videos. we have reviewed several videos that frank james posted on youtube ranting about violence and mass shootings.

using racist language. listen to this. >> i've been through a lot of [ bleep ] where i can say i wanted to kill people. ichted to watch people die right in front of my face, immediately. i thought about the fact i don't want to go to no [ bleep ] prison. >> what do you read into this? >> first of all, i think he's boasting. i think he's trying to be expressing himself as more powerful than he feels. the fact is that he is actually projecting blame in the other slid video where he said it's not about the shooter, it's about the conditions he finds himself in. that projection of blame is consistent with an injustice collector. doesn't take any responsibility for his own violent actions. >> thank you very much. >> thank you. next, new york officials on defense tonight. that's because of the nearly 10,000 cameras in the subway system. not one appears to have captured

enough as far as the ukrainian government is concerned. they have been asking for heavier weapons especially as the offensive as russia seems to be gearing up for is starting to take shape in the east of the country. the same time they're under pressure. you see the video on our screen now. they are now defending what they have left together.

food and medical supplies either. we see again the massive destruction caused there in mariupol. russians not confirming that so far but they are said a couple of mips ago and this was on the news agency there was a severe fire on that ship. they say that some ammunition caught fire and the ship had been evacuated. >> thank you very much.

it comes in context of russia threatening to strike yukrainia with decision makinge ing cente. >> a large batch of security system, including a bunch of new capability. you just described them in this segment that will help the ukrainians continue to defend themselves. they have been much more successful. i think much of the world expected in fendsing off russian advances on their capital. the russians are now going to be focused on the south and the east as we described many times

but they will retain the ability to strike places like kyiv. some of that had not been provided before. we have been providing the security assistance starting before the war began. almost $700 million in security sdans assistance before the russians invade. giving ukrainians the capabilities that they need. the one thing they don't preernt enough is we're making the decisions about what to provide in close consultation with the ukrainian government and military leaders.

>> twhat i'm trying to understad is, is there no distinction anymore between offensive and defensive weapons. it's going to be kwlafr they need and there's no distinction on the u.s. side, at least now . very close consultation. as you say, they have plamade a number of requests of us. i think we're making the decisions that they would make if they were in our shoes.

it shows there's no great incentive to be a russian sympathizer in ukraine now. >> no one is really coming to his aid, his assistance. >> least he's an enemy of ukraine and kremlin doesn't want anything to do with him. he has been suspected to be poisoned twice by putin. you were in constant contact with his wife after those poisonings. poison skexperts to try to keep him alive. you say he's changed your life and reminds you of a young nelson mandela. last month he's briefly in the united states. i spoke to him. here is what he said. >> there's growing certainty.

many people in russia not omnly on our side, this is going to be the last weer that slad plir putin launches. he really over stepped this time and there's not going to be way back for him. the only solution is when putin is out of power and only russians in russia will be able to do it. >> he did that interview and he get os on a plane and goes backo p moscow. now he's in prison. how worried are you? >> he told me he was going to moscow. i was there during all of his -- i wasn't in moscow but talking to his wife every ten minutes during the poisonings and thinking that he was probably going to die. i said to him, don't -- i begged him, don't go back to moscow. don't go. it's too dangerous. i even almost fell out with him

e i was so emphatic. he said i'm asking the russian people to stand up to vladmir putin. what message who that send if i was afraid to go back to my own country. >> whatever word you want to use but they have done it and now who knows what will happen to them. >> it's terrifying. they tried to kill him twice. he's in the custody of the people trying to kill him. it's terrifying. you couldn't get worse than that. >> it's really hard to understand. as i said, it's hard to find the word. people do that but i know they feel so strongly about it. it comes in the context of what is happening to the wealthiest in russia. i understand that's a small sliver of the story. i would argue more important that germany and the eu are giving a billion dollars a day to putin. today the self-governing isle of

jersey froze more than $7 billion of money suspected to be connected to the russian oligarch. ze zelenskyy has asked the u.s. not to sanction him because he's involved in the negotiations. he's close to putin. where do you think his ruoyaltis lie? >> to himself. his loyalties lie to not getting onfu any sanctions list. this is all just a rouse to stay off the sanctions list. we watch the shows where there's yachts being seized here, there and everywhere. if we added up those yachts and planes, that would get you nowhere near $7 billion that's been frozen in one fell swoop in the channel island of jersey.
