A witness who saw Marine vet Daniel Penny choke Jordan Neely on a New York City subway train called him a 'hero' and said the passengers were scared for their lives.
Daniel Penny leaves the 5th Precinct of the NYPD Friday, May 12, 2023. Penny is charged in the death of subway rider Jordan Neely."I’m sitting on a train reading my book, and, all of a sudden, I hear someone spewing this rhetoric. He said, ‘I don’t care if I have to kill an F, I will. I’ll go to jail, I’ll take a bullet,’" recalled the woman, who is in her 60s."I’m looking at where we are in the tube, in the sardine can, and I’m like, ‘OK, we’re in between stations.
Marine veteran Daniel Penny, right, allegedly fatally choked Jordan Neely, left, on a NYC subway after the homeless man threatened passengers."Mr. Penny cared for people. That’s what he did. That is his crime," she told Fox News Digital. After the altercation, she and at least three other passengers thanked him."Nobody wants to kill anybody. Mr. Penny didn’t want to kill that man," she said."You should have seen the way Mr. Penny looked. He was distraught.
But Penny, he noted, had remained on the train and accompanied police to the precinct to voluntarily answer questions. Freelance journalist Alberto Vazquez began recording the confrontation after Neely was already in a chokehold and offered a second account of the homeless man’s conduct. "This isn't about race. This is about people of all colors who were very, very afraid and a man who stepped in to help them," she said."Race is being used to divide us."
