A woman fatally stabbed one of a group of men hassling her in Queens last night, authorities said.

After the men confronted her on a Long Island City street, she ran down to the 21st Queensbridge F-train station to get away. But they caught up with her on the mezzanine level, cops said.

When they continued to harass her, she stabbed one of them, police said.

His friends chased her down to the platform, where she escaped into a train whose doors were closing. Meanwhile, the 29-year-old man she had stabbed crawled back up to the street, where he died.

"I cried when they told me he was dead," said a relative who asked to remain anonymous. "Killed on Christmas Eve. It's such a shame."

Police said the man had a long police record, most of it for drug offenses.

A woman, who said she was the man's aunt, said she's raising his daughter because he lived in a shelter.
