A third teenager was arrested Sunday in connection to February's Mount Eden subway shooting that left five people injured and one person dead, police said on Monday.

A 15-year-old boy was arrested and charged with one count of murder, five counts of attempted murder and criminal possession of a weapon in the Feb. 12 shooting, according to the NYPD.

The incident erupted aboard a 4 train as it reached the Mount Eden Avenue station. Police said two groups of teenagers were riding the northbound train when a fight escalated and two people started firing guns on the platform, killing a 35-year-old man.

Police said the 15-year-old, who was not identified by name because he is a minor, was seen leaving the subway platform with a gun.

Two other teenagers were also arrested in the weeks after the shooting.
