Accused BK Subway Shooter Refuses To Go To Court, Judge Sends Marshals

BROOKLYN, NEW YORK — A federal judge told marshals to "use all necessary force" to bring accused subway shooter Frank James to court Wednesday after he refused to show up, according to court documents.

James — accused of a mass shooting in a Sunset Park subway that left 23 people injured — refused to appear at a scheduled status conference in Brooklyn Federal Court earlier, documents show.

In response, Federal Judge William Kuntz issued a "force order" requesting the U.S. Marshal service "produce the above-named defendant," according to court documents.

It remains unclear how or why James refused to appear in court.

James has pleaded not guilty to multiple charges linked to the terrifying April 23 attack in Brooklyn's 36th Street station.

A 10-page federal complaint details prosecutor's case against James, who stands accused of popping a smoke grenade, firing 33 shots into an N train car then fleeing a nearby station.

After the attack, emergency responders found in the station bags filled with fireworks, a gun and a container of gasoline, as well as a receipt for a storage unit — all linked to James, according to the complaint.

The 62-year-old was captured two days later when authorities received at least one tip that he was in a McDonalds in the East Village.

James was ordered held without bail until his trial.
