During an lda-a approach to runway 22 at lga, the flight crew of an FK10 took evasive action to avoid another aircraft that had inadvertently flown into the final approach path. Another controller was talking to the small aircraft aircraft and had attempted to turn the aircraft away from the lga approach course, but was ineffective and also unable to inform the controller for that sector.

Narrative:
On base leg lga lda-a runway 22 and cleared for visual to follow company B737 which we had just called in sight. First officer was PF and began descent. Just about as we rolled out on our assigned heading, to turn towards the airport, got a TA then immediately an RA, with a voice saying to climb. I had looked at TCASII in normal scan as we were rolling out of turn to assigned heading preparing to read landing checklist when we got TA and then the RA to climb. I said to the first officer, 'climb and break right as a backup,' as he was already adding firewall power. As he climbed and started turning right, I saw a single engine, low wing aircraft, possibly a beech, pass under us. I advised approach of our evasive maneuver, finished the checklist, and informed the passenger and flight attendants that all was well. Remainder of the flight was uneventful. I spoke to the ATC supervisor by landline and was told that the single engine aircraft strayed over to our area and was being told by another controller to turn away from lga approach course. The other controller did not have time to inform our controller to tell us of the traffic.
