The ex-Broadway dancer who infamously grinned after allegedly shoving a 76-year-old to his death down a subway staircase told cops he “freaked out” when he pushed the grandpa because he was “scared,” new court documents revealed Wednesday. “I was just walking, and I got scared because I heard an argument about me,” alleged shover Rhamell Burke, 32, bizarrely told cops after being arrested for the May 7 killing. Burke also claimed that “muscle spasms” caused him to deliver a fatal toss to beloved NYC school teacher Ross Falzone at the 18th Street station in Chelsea.
