NYC police catch second subway pusher...

Sounds like she's mentally unbalanced, and probably homeless.

After a two-day search, New York City police say they have apprehended a suspect in Thursday night's subway-platform death.

"Detectives have in custody a woman who has made statements implicating herself in the death of Sunando Sen in the 108th [Precinct] on Thursday night," NYPD Deputy Commissioner Paul J. Browne announced in a written statement today.

On Thursday night, a woman shoved a man from a subway platform at Queens Boulevard, and the man was crushed beneath an oncoming train. Police had searched the area for her after the incident.

but it now looks like it was an individual who was disturbed in some fashion:

"Witnesses said she was walking back and forth on the platform, talking to herself, before taking a seat alone on a wooden bench near the north end of the platform. When the train pulled into the station, the suspect rose from the bench and pushed the man, who was standing with his back to her, onto the tracks into the path of the train," Browne said. "The victim appeared not to notice her, according to witnesses."
