A former U.S. Marine who killed a homeless man by putting him in a chokehold on the New York City subway will be arrested on Friday and arraigned on a charge of manslaughter, the Manhattan district attorney said on Thursday.
A viral video showed the former Marine, identified as Daniel Penny, putting 30-year-old Jordan Neely in a chokehold on May 1 while they rode on the F train in Manhattan. Neely died from a compression of the neck, the medical examiner said, but Penny's lawyers said he did not mean to kill him.
"We can confirm that Daniel Penny will be arrested on a charge of manslaughter in the second degree. We cannot provide any additional information until he has been arraigned in Manhattan Criminal Court, which we expect to take place tomorrow," Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg said in a statement.among New Yorkers about crime in the subway and what to do with a growing number of homeless people in the city.
In a statement from his legal team, Penny expressed "condolences to those close to Mr. Neely." The statement alleged that Neely had aggressively threatened passengers riding in the subway car. Penny's attorneys, Steven Raiser and Thomas Kenniff, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
