Marine veteran Daniel Penny returns to court in New York City on Wednesday in his subway chokehold case as the city continues to grapple with transit crime.
A crazed man slashed a subway conductor in the neck; a jilted lover shoved his ex-girlfriend in front of a moving car, maiming her; a belligerent shot in the head with his own gun; and New York Gov. Kathy Hochul sent in National Guard troops and state police to help restore order to New York City's public transportation system.
Man shot in head during fight on New York City subway Penny could face up to 15 years in prison after placing an emotionally unstable man named Jordan Neely in a fatal chokehold last year. He cooperated with police and was initially released, and is set to return to court on Wednesday. Although witnesses described the Marine Corps veteran and college student as a 'hero,' he turned himself in 11 days later when District Attorney Alvin Bragg's office charged him with manslaughter.
New York straphangers weigh in on subway crime 'Between stops, you’re trapped on the train, and there’s nowhere to go. You can try to move away, but you can only do so much on a packed car,' Penny, 24, previously told Fox News Digital. 'I was scared. I looked around, and I saw older women and children, and they were terrified.' Neely had a documented history of mental illness and a criminal record that included prior subway assaults.
The problem with subway riders being vigilant is less of a solution now that Danny has been hauled off to court for defending himself and others,' Raiser told Fox News Digital. 'The police and military are required even more since Danny’s arrest, because the riders themselves must not only be fearful of their would-be attackers, but of how they will be judged if they step forward to help one another.
