Maniac accused of randomly shoving woman, 82, onto NYC subway tracks is busted, charged with attempted murder: cops

The maniac accused of randomly shoving an 82-year-old woman onto Queens subway tracks last week was busted Monday and charged with attempted murder, cops said.

Brandon Harris, 35 – who lives down the block from the Flushing-Main Street No. 7 station where the vicious Wednesday attack occurred – also faces a felony assault rap, authorities said.

Harris, a complete stranger to the elderly victim, pushed her just before noon while the train sat in the station, according to authorities.
