The deranged homeless ex-con accused of randomly shoving a straphanger to her death in a Times Square subway station is due to be arraigned at his hospital bedside Wednesday.
Martial Simon, 61, has been held at Bellevue Hospital in Manhattan since his arrest on murder charges in Michelle Go’s death Jan. 9.
He has since been awaiting arraignment.
Police said Simon randomly walked up behind Go around 9:40 a.m. Saturday while she waited to board an R train at the station then pushed her into the path of an oncoming train.
Simon, who has served two stints in state prison on robbery and attempted-robbery convictions, was diagnosed with schizophrenia and has been in and out of mental hospitals for more than 20 years, his sister told The Post.
Go, a California native and UCLA grad, had worked for Deloitte Consulting in Manhattan since 2018, with the firm saying this week they were “devastated” by her death.
