NYC cops are questioning a man who might be the subway psycho who “launched” an innocent Queens dad into tracks, where he was killed by an oncoming Q train on Dec 3.

The suspect was being questioned today in Manhattan, in connection to the grisly death of Ki Suk Han, 58, yesterday afternoon. The man was picked up on 50th Street near Seventh Avenue by a transit police captain, who was on a coffee break at 1:30 p.m. and ran over to grab him.

Han, of Elmherst, desperately tried to scramble back to the platform as onlookers screamed, shouted and frantically waved their hands and bags in a bid to get the downtown Q train to stop at around 12:30 p.m.

The man being questioned by cops is identified as a 30-year-old street vendor from Queens, according to law enforcement sources.
Post freelance photographer R. Umar Abbasi — who had been waiting on the platform of the 49th Street station — ran toward the train, repeatedly firing off his flash to warn the operator.

So sad, the guy says he pushed him in self defense! What a load of bull huh? I hope he gets the maximum. Why couldn't anyone try to pull him up, must've happened too quickly.

He should have run toward the tunnel to avoid being crushed first.

That's what I was thinking too!
