According to New York City fire commissioner Laura Kavanagh, 16 persons were injured in the event in Brooklyn.
Gunshot wounds are present in ten of the victims.
At nearby hospitals, five of the injured are in serious but stable condition.
According to Kavanagh, the injuries vary from smoke inhalation to shrapnel wounds.
Governor Kathy Hochul of New York says the suspect is still on the run and might be dangerous.
She urged New Yorkers to be cautious.
"Regular New Yorkers awoke to the prospect of a reasonably typical day," she remarked.
"That sense of calm and normalcy had been shattered."
Governor Hochul also stated that she will spend "all of our state's resources" to combat crime in the city.
"This lunacy that is engulfing our city has to come to an end," she told reporters at a press conference held by the NYPD.
"We'll stop there. No more mass shootings. There will be no more upsetting people's lives."
According to NYPD Commissioner Keechant Sewell, the incident in Brooklyn is not being examined as a terrorist crime.
According to Sewell, the suspect detonated a canister in the subway before firing a gun. She confirmed he was believed to be about 5'5, wearing a green construction-type vest and a grey sweatshirt.
Sewell urged the public to come forward with any information or video evidence.
