NORTH CAROLINA (WABC) -- The NYPD's most wanted man was arrested in North Carolina Sunday.

Rasheem Williams, an alleged subway serial robber, was captured by authorities in Rocky Mountain, North Carolina.

He was being sought by cops for at least 14 incidents on trains in the Bronx, Manhattan and Brooklyn. None of the victims was seriously injured in any of the incidents.
