The Syrian who called Wednesday New York Police And he informed her of the location of the shooter last Tuesday morning, against those in a metro station in the city, and she arrested him after a search for him that lasted for 29 hours non-stop. He faced a miserable and unpleasant surprise that appeared to him yesterday. .
Surprisingly, others have also reported the location to the police Frank JamesAccording to what Al-Arabiya.net has seen in a number of American media outlets, so the reward allocated by the police to those who help them arrest him, and the amount of 50 thousand dollars, may not go to the Syrian immigrant Zakaria Tahan, but may be deserved by another if it is proven that he preceded him by reporting the crime. The shooter, and it all depends on the results of an investigation that the police can conduct to find out who is lucky.
And no one may deserve the reward either, because the defense attorney for the shooter, Frank James, 62, said yesterday Thursday that his client, whose attack resulted in the injury of 23 people, including 10 with bullets and 13 from a smoke bomb he detonated, “called the police and told them that he decided to turn himself in.” ” like he said.
“I’m not looking for bonus money”
Among the competitors for the reward for the 21-year-old Syrian, Tahan, is a 46-year-old Mexican immigrant named Francisco Puebla, who works as a store manager for the Saifee company, which is active in the horticultural field. We see the Syrian Zakaria Tahan, who was in a shop next to the store, but he remained silent as the Mexican mentioned to reporters how he told the police what helped them arrest James.
Puebla, an immigrant for 27 years in the United States, also contacted news agencies, and denied what Tahan said that his contact with the police led to the arrest of the shooter, and said that he was the one who saw him passing in front of his company’s store, “I knew him at a time when a police car stopped at the traffic light, So I rushed and told whoever was in it that I had just seen the shooter in Brooklyn, so they arrested him.. I am not seeking the reward money, but it is fair that the authorities keep their promise.” And the same thing Tahan also said in “Twitter” in which he opened an account yesterday, then came back and closed it After hours.
And there is a third, who informed the police of the location of the shooter, which led to his arrest as well, a Romanian named Lee Fasu who works as a “portrait” painter on a site called Artnet specialized in the arts, and said that he was finishing lunch in a restaurant in the area, accompanied by his mother, wife and their 8-month-old daughter, when He saw the shooter walking in the street, so he drew his wife’s attention to him, then went out and hurried to a police car that was parked, and informed those in it of his whereabouts, and within minutes they caught him and arrested him.
