Multiple people have been shot at a Brooklyn subway station while several undetonated devices were also believed to have been found at the location.

Reports suggest that at least five people were said to have been shot by a man who was wearing a gas mask with an orange construction vest who fled the scene. Police later confirmed there were no active explosive devices.

The man is reportedly said to be around 5ft5" and roughly 180 pounds, according to preliminary reports.

FDNY also say that they were called to the 36th Street subway station in Brooklyn's Sunset Park neighbourhood for a smoke condition at about 8.30am, reports CNN.
