James, 62, has appeared before the tribunal on Thursday under suspicion that he violated the law banning “terrorist attacks and violence of the other type” against massive transit systems.
He has been caught after the attack that has left 23 people injured.
His lawyer requested a psychiatric report.
If convicted, he can spend the rest of his life behind bars.
The suspect “has carried out an amended attack on New York citizens during the early hours of the morning”, American Prosecutor Breon Pearce said as he read the statement on the charges.
He is accused of firing weapons at 10 people and has injured at least 13 others.
Suspect fled the scene of the attack, but there's some personal stuff left.
He reportedly called the police himself to show their whereabouts, the American media said, citing their sources.
In the past, the suspect has been arrested nine times in New York City and three times in New Jersey.
The motives of the attack are not yet known. /rel
