The maniac accused of randomly pushing an 82-year-old woman onto the Queens subway tracks last week was arrested Monday and charged with attempted murder, police said.
Brandon Harris, 35 — who lives near the No. 7 Flushing-Main Street station where the brutal Wednesday attack took place — also faces a misdemeanor charge, authorities said.
Harris, a complete stranger to the elderly victim, pushed her while the train was in the station just before noon, according to authorities.
The senior hit her head on the side of the subway, leaving a bloody scene, before landing on the tracks between cars, sources said.
She was rushed by paramedics to NewYork-Presbyterian Queens Hospital, where she was listed in stable condition.
Harris has four previous arrests — the most recent in July 2020 for a crime stemming from a dispute with the victim, police said.
He was arrested for public lewdness in both 2019 and 2015, and was cuffed again in 2015 for theft of a motor vehicle, police said.
In an unrelated subway push about two weeks earlier, Shadrach Ford, 30, senselessly pushed a 62-year-old woman onto the tracks at the Jefferson Street station in Bushwick — all because she ignored his request for a lighter, police said and sources.
According to the sources, quickly acting bystanders brought her back to safety.
Ford was also charged with attempted murder, as well as attempted negligent homicide, assault, reckless endangerment, intimidation and criminal trespass, authorities said.
