Queens District Attorney Richard A. Brown: Menendez

Subway Platform Dept: NEW YORK, N.Y. - A woman who told police she shoved a man to his death off a subway platform into the path of a train because she has hated Muslims since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks and thought he was one was charged Saturday with murder as a hate crime, prosecutors said, according to Winnipeg Free Press. Menendez, 31, was awaiting arraignment on the charge Saturday evening, Queens District Attorney Richard A. Brown said. She could face 25 years to life in prison if convicted. She was in custody and couldn't be reached for comment, and it was unclear if she had an attorney and commuters watch as a train enters the 40th St-Lowry St Station, where a man was killed after being pushed onto the subway tracks, in the Queens section of New York, Friday, Dec. 28, 2012. Police are searching for a woman suspected of pushing the man and released surveillance video Friday of her running away from the station.
