Police have described the incident thusly (via WSJ):

Police said a man was pushed onto the tracks at a Queens subway station Thursday night by a woman who was described by witnesses as mumbling to herself before the attack. She didn't appear to know her victim, who was killed by a No. 7 train as it barreled into the elevated 40th Street-Lowery Street station in the Sunnyside neighborhood.

The surveillance video is from a business on Queens Boulevard, and shows the woman fleeing. Five witnesses on the platform apparently saw the incident ' and the suspect was described as a Hispanic woman about 5-feet-5-inches tall, who appeared to be in her 20s.

The victim hasn't yet been identified and was declared dead at the scene.

It marks the second fatal subway-pushing incident in the last month, but Mayor Michael Bloomberg highlighted that such occurrences remain rare. 'To say that it's only two in, you know, a long period of time doesn't help either person,' Bloomberg said on Friday. 'I don't know what happened here.'
