A Queens man who fired two shots in a Manhattan subway station in an effort to
stop a homeless man from robbing a woman was charged on Wednesday with weapons
counts and other crimes, officials said.

The man, John Rote, was awaiting arraignment Wednesday night on charges that
included criminal possession of a firearm, criminal possession of a weapon,
reckless endangerment and menacing, officials said. It was not clear whether he
had a lawyer.

Mr. Rote, 43, was identified as the suspect in the shooting, which occurred at
about 10 p.m. Tuesday at the 49th Street station in Midtown, based on security
camera footage, officials said. A still image released by the police before he
was arrested showed a beefy man in a T-shirt, shorts and running shoes who was
wearing a backpack and carrying a tote bag.
