A homeless man has been charged with second-degree murder for pushing a man to his death in front of an oncoming train in New York.

Naeem Davis, 30, was questioned on Tuesday and police say his answers linked him to the death of Ki-Suck Han.

Security video showed a man matching Mr Davis' description working with street vendors near Rockefeller Center.

The New York Post newspaper has been criticised for publishing a photo of Mr Han, moments from death, on the cover.

Witnesses said a man was talking to himself on the platform before he approached the 58-year-old and pushed him into the tracks at the 49th Street station, following an argument.

'Psychiatric problem'

A freelance photographer, R Umar Abbasi, who was waiting on the platform, has been criticised for taking pictures of the victim instead of trying to help.

Mr Abbasi defended himself in an interview with NBC's Today show, saying he was trying to get the train driver's attention with his camera flash.

"It took me a second to figure out what was happening," Mr Abbasi said. "I saw the lights in the distance. My mind was to alert the train."

People closer to the victim did not attempt to help he said. "They could have moved and grabbed him and pulled him up. No one made an effort."

On Tuesday New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg said the assailant appeared to have a "psychiatric problem".

Mr Bloomberg added that Mr Han "if I understand it, tried to break up a fight or something and paid for it with his life".
