Man dies on NYC subway after being placed in chokehold by fellow passenger
Video of the deadly encounter shows the 30-year-old man being restrained by a 24-year-old U.S. Marine veteran.

A man who was acting “erratically” on a New York City subway is dead after another passenger put him in a chokehold, police and witnesses say.

The New York City medical examiner determined that Jordan Neely, 30, died from compression of the neck, the Associated Press reported.

Neely “yelled and threw garbage at commuters,” prompting another man, identified as a 24-year-old Marine veteran, to intervene.

“I don’t have food, I don’t have to drink, I’m fed up,” Neely screamed, according to Juan Alberto Vázquez, a freelance journalist and fellow passenger. “I don’t mind going to jail and getting life in prison. I’m ready to die.”

They are treating this case as a homicide case.

You see it on TV and the movies and even on MMA fighting but with that, you can tap out.  People think that it is supposed to put people to sleep.  If done right by a professional then yes but it can also lead to death.  I had to stopped people from doing this maneuver before.

Daniel Penny: Ex-Marine defends NYC subway chokehold

A 24-year-old ex-Marine who placed New York City subway passenger Jordan Neely in a deadly chokehold has defended his response, saying he and other passengers were acting in self-defence.

In a statement issued by his lawyers on Friday, Daniel Penny expressed condolences to Neely's family.

His cause of death has been ruled a homicide. No charges have been filed for his death so far.

The case has brought awareness of crime and homelessness in public transport.

"We would first, like to express, on behalf Daniel Penny, our condolences to those close to Mr Neely," his lawyers said in a statement issued to US media.

The statement says that Neely - a 30-year-old homeless Michael Jackson impersonator, "had a documented history of violent and erratic behaviour" which they said was "the apparent result of ongoing and untreated, mental illness".

The lawyers add that Neely had been "aggressively threatening" their client and other passengers, and that Mr Penny and others "acted to protect themselves, until help arrived".

"Daniel never intended to harm Mr Neely and could not have foreseen his untimely death."

The Manhattan prosecutor and police are currently deciding whether to press charges. Homicide means a death caused by another person, but is not necessarily a murder.

The incident happened on Monday afternoon on the F-line train in the SoHo section of Manhattan.

A video captured by a freelance journalist on the train shows the former Marine holding the 30-year-old man - who was said to have been acting erratically - around the neck for two minutes and 55 seconds.

Two other passengers are also seen restraining his arms. All three later let go of the man, who is then seen lying motionless on the floor.

Police told CBS News, the BBC's US partner, that Mr Penny told other passengers to call 911 during the struggle with Neely.

The network reports that a grand jury will probably meet next week to determine whether there is enough evidence to press charges. If charges are brought, Mr Penny will probably argue that his reaction was justified to defend himself.

In order to be found guilty, prosecutors must prove that he used deadly force without believing that Neely was also prepared to use deadly force, experts told the New York Times.

We have race mongers decrying this as 'racism' and ready for another Minneapolis BLM-style rioting/looting, oops, I mean... peaceful protesting. Go for it... let it burn, let it burn, let it burn.

US gave $billions to a foreign country to fight their war and take in millions of illegals, housing and feeding them... all the while ignoring homeless, poor American.
