Woman Cites Discrimination as Reason for Pushing Man Into Train

Posted: Updated:

(KCEN) --  A New York woman has been charged with second degree murder as a hate crime for allegedly pushing a man in front of a subway train.

Police say the surveillance video they released helped find Erika Menendez.  

The Queens District Attorney says Menendez implicated herself in Thursday's crime.  

He says Menendez told officers she pushed the Muslim man on the train tracks because she hates Hindus and Muslims ever since 9/11.

Witnesses saw a woman pacing the elevated platform and muttering to herself just before she pushed her victim.
