US police are searching for a woman alleged to have pushed a passenger in front of an oncoming train in New York.
Eyewitnesses said the man was standing on a platform at the subway station in Queens when a woman rose from a bench and shoved him onto the tracks.
In December, a homeless man was charged with murder for pushing a passenger to his death in Times Square subway.
The incident caused an outcry after a tabloid published a photo showing the victim moments away from being struck.
No surveillance footageThursday's incident took place at a subway station near the Queens Boulevard in the Sunnyside neighbourhood in New York City's Queens district.
Witnesses said that, in the minutes preceding the attack, the female assailant was talking to herself while walking up and down the platform, before eventually sitting down on a bench.
As the train approached, the suspect rose from her seat and pushed the waiting passenger, who stood with his back to her, onto the tracks, Deputy Commissioner Paul Brown said in a statement.
The man's body was pinned under the front of a carriage as the train came to a halt. Police are still trying to identify the badly damaged body of the victim, the Associated Press news agency reports.
The woman, thought to be in her 20s, then fled the scene. It is unclear whether she knew her victim.
Police said there was no surveillance footage of the incident.
On 3 December, Ki-Suck Han was shoved by Naeem Davis onto the track at 49th Street station near Times Square.
Freelance photographer, R Umar Abbasi, who had been waiting on the platform, was criticised for taking pictures of the victim instead of trying to help.
Mr Abbasi said he was trying to get the train driver's attention with his camera flash.
The New York Post tabloid also came under fire over its decision to publish the image.
