NEW YORK: For the second time in a month the New York City police are looking for a suspect who fled a subway station after a man was fatally pushed in front of an oncoming train from an elevated platform in the borough of Queens.

The unidentified man was standing on the platform while waiting for the train on Thursday night. Witnesses told police that a woman had been walking back and forth on the platform and talking to herself before she took a seat on a wooden bench.

As the train approached the station, the witnesses said the woman rose from the bench and pushed the man, who’d been standing with his back to her, onto the tracks.

They said the victim did not seem to notice the woman behind him. He was struck by the first of the 11-car train. His body was pinned under the front of the second car as the train came to a stop.

After pushing the man onto the platform, the woman fled down the stairs.

Overnight the New York Police Department released a surveillance video of the woman believed to be the suspect. Detectives were also canvassing locations along Queens Boulevard for other witnesses and surveillance video.
