NYC TRAIN DEATH: Police Question Suspect in Deadly Subway Shove Dec 5th 2012, 13:06 NEW YORK –  New York police questioned a suspect Tuesday in the shoving death of a New York man who apparently got into an verbal altercation and was pushed onto train tracks just before an oncoming train crushed him. Investigators recovered security video showing a man fitting the description of the assailant working with street vendors near Rockefeller Center, New York Police Department spokesman Paul Browne said. MyFoxNY.com reported that Naemm Davis confessed to the crime during questioning and was arrested. Witnesses told investigators they saw the suspect talking to himself Monday afternoon before he approached Ki-Suck Han at the Times Square station, got into an altercation with him and pushed him into the train's path. Police took the man into custody Tuesday, but he hasn't yet been charged. Han, 58, of Queens, died shortly after being struck. Police said he tried to climb a few feet to safety but got trapped between the train and the platform's edge. Subway pushes are feared but fairly unusual. Among the more high-profile cases was the January 1999 death of Kendra Webdale, who was shoved to her death by a former mental patient. After that, the Legislature passed Kendra's Law, which lets mental health authorities supervise patients who live outside institutions to make sure they are taking their medications and aren't a threat to safety. Mayor Michael Bloomberg said Tuesday that he believed that "in this case, it appeared to be a psychiatric problem." The mayor said Han, "if I understand it, tried to break up a fight or something and paid for it with his life."
