The suspect wanted for fatally pushing an Indian immigrant in front of a train in Queens train was in custody Saturday, police sources said.
The 31-year-old woman made statements implicating herself in the crime while being grilled by detectives at the 112th Precinct stationhouse in Forest Hills after police were tipped off to her identity, the sources said.
The woman, who was not identified, is believed to be the mumbling psycho who shoved Sunando Sen, 46, to the tracks as a 7 train pulled into the 40th St./Lowery stop in Sunnyside about 8 p.m. Thursday, sources said.
Several tips were called in after police released surveillance images and a sketch of the pudgy suspect, believed to be about 5-foot-5 and 190 pounds. Cops also put up a $12,000 reward for information on the wanted woman.
Sen, a college-educated graphic designer, was remembered as a hard worker who recently opened his own printing business in Manhattan.
“Seven days a week he worked,” said his pal, Ar Suman, 33. “He wanted to be his own boss...He was very excited to have his own business.”
Sen emmigrated from India and settled in the city in the early 1990s, friends said. He was the second subway-shove fatality in the month.
Another Queens man was killed after a crazed man pushed him in front of a midtown train on Dec. 3.
