At 8.24am, the gunman - described by witnesses as a 5ft 5 black man, weighing 170lbs, wearing an green construction vest, grey hoodie and gas mask, put on a gas mask on the train and then let off a smoke bomb on the northbound N train as it moved towards 36th Street in Brooklyn. 

He then opened fire, shooting ten people - five of whom are now in a critical but stable condition. 

When the train pulled into 36th St, the gunman disappeared. He may have fled onto the tracks, prompting NYPD teams to search tunnels as trains were halted, but he remains at large nearly five hours later. 

The wounded and terrified commuters poured out of the subway doors and onto the platform at 36th Street.
