(Bloomberg) — YouTube deleted the account that appears to belong to Frank R. James, the suspect in the Brooklyn subway shooting on Tuesday.

The NYPD showed screenshots of James that appeared to come from a YouTube video posted on a channel called Prophetoftruth88. The account featured several videos of a man complaining about New York City mental health services and Mayor Eric Adams. Police have not confirmed that the YouTube channel belonged to James.

The channel was active on Wednesday morning before being eliminated. A note on the page says it was removed for “violating the YouTube Community Guidelines.” Representatives for YouTube, part of Alphabet Inc.'s Google, did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

James, suspected of carrying out an attack that injured a dozen people, remains at large.
