The vagrant charged with killing a Queens father said he heard voices in his head just moments before the horrific crime.

“I heard, ‘Naeem, he’s coming again. He’s coming again. You gotta do something.’ I kept hearing voices like that,” Naeem Davis told The Post yesterday in a jailhouse interview at Rikers Island.

Davis claims he was harassed and threatened by Ki Suk Han before Monday’s violence erupted on the platform of the 49th Street station — and that he was high when he pushed Han to his death.

“I was under the influence [of marijuana],” he said. “It wasn’t my intention to kill him. I just wanted him to get away from me.

“From the depths of my heart, I didn’t mean to kill him.”

Dressed in an orange jumpsuit and sandals, the somber Sierra Leone refugee kept his head down through most of the hour-long interview. Davis, 30, said he’s a devout Muslim who went to a mosque daily. “I’ve been praying every hour,” he said. “God was testing me. I failed that test.”

He said he was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in his 20s but wasn’t taking any medication to treat his condition.

Davis was living at a Bronx shelter on 136th Street and claimed he was forced to move out of Far Rockaway because of Superstorm Sandy — but there are no records of him ever living there.

Davis did work for Midtown street vendors and was headed to West 28th Street on the day of the killing to pick up merchandise.

He said an intoxicated Han threatened him near the 49th Street subway booth at 11:30 a.m.

“He grabbed my arm. He said, ‘I’m gonna kill you.’ ” “I yelled at him, ‘I don’t know you. Get away from me.’ ”

But according to Davis’ story, Han continued to badger Davis — approaching him near the turnstile and again on the platform.

Cops found a vodka bottle on Han, sources said, and his wife said he had problems with alcohol.

Davis said he thought Han might have been carrying a weapon.

“I took off my jacket and put down my coffee cup. I saw a red cap [inside his pocket], and I didn’t know what he was going to do. I didn’t see a bottle,” Davis said.

“I fought back in self-defense. I was against the wall when I pushed him. He fell on his ass and then rolled.”

Davis described himself as a “good-hearted person” — though he admitted he stood by and watched as the Q train ran over Han before Davis walked away.

“I saw the train hit him. I heard his bones crack,” Davis said.

The five other men on the platform did not bother to help Han — and Davis was too stoned to act, he said.

“I was under the influence. That’s why I didn’t help,” he said. “I had my back to him. Even if I grabbed both his arms, the train still would’ve clipped him. It happened so fast, I didn’t have time to react.”

The alleged killer said he wants to plead down to manslaughter from murder.

He also wants to apologize to the victim’s wife, Serim Han — but only because it would make him feel better.

“I just want to see her face-to-face and say, ‘I’m sorry,’ ” he said. “It would make things easier for me in here.”

Prosecutors have said Davis was “indifferent” over Han’s death and calmly walked away after allegedly murdering Han.

Han’s family laid him to rest on Thursday in a private funeral in Queens. His daughter, Ashley, 20, clutched a photo of her father.

The family had financial troubles. Han was unemployed at the time of his death, and his wife could not work because of a disability. Serim Han kicked him out of the house the day he was killed after getting in a fight while he was drinking, she said.

Davis, meanwhile, immigrated to the United States in 1989 to live with his grandparents in Pennsylvania, he said.

A souvenir vendor who gave him odd jobs over the years said Davis was a hard worker.

“He pushed carts in the street, $10, $7 a cart and whatever things a vendor would need,” said Ibrahim, 52, who would not give his last name.

“That’s the guy they would call.”

“He was like a little brother or son to me. I tried to steer him and teach him how to live,” he said. “I hoped one day I wanted to see a light bulb go on.”
