Police on Wednesday clashed with protesters and made a number of brutal arrests during a demonstration seeking justice for Jordan Neely, a Black homeless man who witnesses say was choked to death while riding the New York City subway earlier this week.
“The homeless matter!” was the crowd’s rally cry, as supporters and those experiencing homelessness flooded the northbound F train platform at the Broadway-Lafayette station in Manhattan, where Jordan Neely lost his life.
Neely later died of his injuries, and the alleged killer was reportedly released by police without being charged. Johnny Grima, a man who has experienced homelessness, said he was riding the train that day and came upon the scene. At the time, he said he didn’t understand what was taking place. Now he says he lives with regret he didn’t step in.
