Man killed after pushed in front of train

POLICE in New York City yesterday released surveillance video of the woman suspected of pushing a man to his death in front of a subway train, the second such crime in the city this month.

The video shows the woman running from the elevated platform on Thursday night. Witnesses told police she had been following the man closely and mumbling to herself. She got up from a nearby bench and shoved him as the train pulled in.

It did not appear the man noticed her, police said. They said the condition of the man's body was making it difficult to identify him. The woman was described as Hispanic, in her 20s and heavyset.

It was unclear if the man and the woman knew each other or if anyone tried to help the man before he was struck and killed at the station in the borough of Queens.

On December 3, 58-year-old Ki-Suck Han was pushed in front of a train in Times Square. A homeless man, 30-year-old Naeem Davis, was charged with murder in Han's death.
