She tried to commit suicide by jumping in front of a train — but now a Queens woman says the cops who helped rescue her are ruining the life they helped save.
Yasmin Rahman, 27, claims in a $7 million lawsuit that the city made pictures and police reports from her teenage suicide attempt publicly available — and that because of it, no one will hire her.
She says she’s now a different person from the depressed 15-year-old who jumped in front of an R train in Manhattan in 2001.
The problem is, she can’t get anyone else to get over her past.
“It makes me feel like I’m going in circles,” Rahman told The Post.
At least 39 potential employers have turned her down because detailed information about the incident popped up in background checks on her, Rahman claims in papers she filed in Queens Supreme Court last month.
“They asked me if I was on crutches or in a wheelchair,” the able-bodied woman said. “They’ve told me, ‘It’s a police report, you were injured,’ and, ‘There’s a picture of you at the hospital,’ ‘There’s a picture of you on the tracks.’ ”
The Elmhurst resident said she was hired for retail jobs in the past, but now she’s getting repeatedly rejected for positions — from local hospitals and nonprofits, and also businesses such as Banana Republic and Godiva.
Rahman said that she struggled through a childhood with a single mom who battled psychiatric issues, and that she hit rock bottom the day she leapt from the Lexington Avenue subway platform.
“I don’t think people understood I was afraid most of my childhood,” she said through tears. “I just didn’t want to be home any more.”
The leap left her with a serious head injury, broken bones and memory loss that hospitalized her for six months.
But Rahman said her survival was a wake-up call. She attended the Borough of Manhattan Community College and Pace University, where she studied psychology. She hopes to work as a counselor or caseworker but instead works part time peddling cellphones.
“I didn’t get a degree to sell mobile phones,” Rahman said.
Her lawyer said the information about Rahman’s suicide attempt should be confidential.
“I think it’s nobody’s business,” said attorney Andrew Schatkin.
Rahman is suing the city and the officers who handled the incident.
An NYPD spokesman denied the allegations and said, “We do not maintain a medical database.”
The city has denied the allegations, a Law Department spokeswoman said.
