YouTube deleted the account that appears to belong to Frank R. James, the suspect arrested in the subway shooting in Brooklyn on Tuesday that injured two dozen people.

The NYPD had showcased screenshots of James that appeared to come from a YouTube video posted to a channel named prophetoftruth88. The account featured several videos of a man complaining about New York City’s mental health services and Mayor Eric Adams.
