Cops on Tuesday arrested the vagrant suspected of shoving a man to his death in front of a speeding Bronx subway, sources said.
Kevin Darden, 34, who has 30 prior arrests, was picked up in the Bronx, the sources said.
The subway pusher’s mother said that she is happy her son has been captured. “I’m glad they got him off the streets and I’m glad hes not dead,” said Darden’s mother, Berlyn Joyce Jones.
She added that she has not lived with her for years and he suffers from mental illness — as she offered her condolences to the victim’s family

A straphanger was fatally struck by a Bronx train after a stranger pushed him off the platform in front of the victim’s horrified wife, police sources said Sunday.
Wai Kuen Kwok, 61, was struck by a southbound D train at Grand Concourse and East 167th Street in Highbridge around 8:50 a.m., authorities said.
The man was standing on the platform with his wife, Yow Ho Lee, when he was pushed by a guy who then fled out of the station and onto a Bx35 bus at Grand Concourse and East 167th Street, sources said.
The train’s motorman witnessed the push and slammed on his brakes, but it was too late, a transit source said.
