When Neely stops moving, Penny gets up and multiple people turn Neely on his side. In the nearly four-minute video, a white man the Times identified as Penny is seen holding Neely, who is Black, in a chokehold on the floor of a stopped train, while two people help him restrain Neely’s arms. Vazquez told the New York Times that Neely had not assaulted anyone before he was put in a chokehold for approximately 15 minutes. Part of the incident was captured on video by Juan Alberto Vazquez, an independent journalist. On Monday, Neely, who was homeless and seemingly having a mental health crisis, was reportedly yelling and acting erratically on a New York Subway, when Penny put him in a fatal chokehold on a Manhattan subway train. Marine Corps veteran named Daniel Penny has been publicly identified as the man who killed Jordan Neely, 30, a dancer and Michael Jackson impersonator, on the New York subway, two senior law enforcement officials told the New York Times.
