The man, believed to be 5-foot-5 and weigh 180 pounds, was allegedly seen throwing a device in the subway station before shooting a firearm. Law enforcement is instructing the public to avoid the area of 36th Street and 4th Avenue in Brooklyn, where emergency responders have attended the scene. The NYPD said in a <a href="https://twitter.com/NYPDnews/status/1513862828242972672">tweet</a>: "Due to an investigation, avoid the area of 36th Street and 4th Avenue area in Brooklyn. Expect emergency vehicles and delays in the surrounding area." New York City Mayor Eric Adams, who tested positive for Covid-19, has been briefed about the mayhem that took place this morning, his spokesperson Fabien Levy confirmed. [[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/CBSNews/status/1513881188963917840]] "While we gather more information, we ask New Yorkers to stay away from this area for their safety and so that first responders can help those in need and investigate," Levy said on <a href="https://twitter.com/Fabien_Levy/status/1513876428152000517">Twitter</a>. The Metropolitan Transportation Authority, which operates the subways, are also carrying out a probe into the incident. President Joe Biden has been briefed about the attack and senior members of staff at the White House are in contact with Adams and Police Commissioner Keechant Sewell.
