Queens District Attorney Richard A. Brown: Terrorist Attacks

Erika Menendez Dept: NEW YORK -- 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. It was unclear if she had an attorney and commuters wait on the platform as a train passes through 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. Erika Menendez was charged in the death of Sunando Sen, an India immigrant who was crushed by a No. 7 train in Queens on Thursday night, the second time this month a commuter has died in such a nightmarish fashion.
