A Queens woman who was pepper-sprayed for dashing down an up-only subway staircase is suing the city - and the cop who hauled her away in cuffs - for $3 million.
Naeema Screven says she was only trying to catch her train, which was pulling into the station, when she zipped down to the A line platform at the Broadway station in Brooklyn.
One side of the stairway was designated "down" and the other side "up," the complaint filed in Brooklyn Federal Court said.
The "down" side of the stairway was crowded, so she admits she crossed under the yellow tape to the "up" side.
