Some are now calling for justice for Jordan Neely, who was homeless and struggled with mental illness, and for the person who was initially hailed as a good Samaritan to be arrested.
"The man got on the subway car and began to say a somewhat aggressive speech, saying he was hungry, he was thirsty, that he didn't care about anything, he didn't care about going to jail, he didn't care that he gets a big life sentence," said Juan Alberto Vazquez, who was in the subway car and recording part of what happened afterward."That 'It doesn't even matter if I died.
"I think no one though he was in a risky situation because he was defending himself all the time, all the time he moved, he tried to remove his arm," said Vazquez."Then when they had it on his side, he kept kicking, so we thought that's him defending himself." The 24-year-old who delivered the chokehold was questioned and later released, the NYPD said. He has not yet been charged, and it was not clear if he would face charges.
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said video of the incident was"deeply disturbing, and it causes a lot of fear in people, and actually the mayor and I am working so hard to restore that sense of safety."
