<p>A grand jury in Manhattan indicted <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/marine-vet-accused-of-killing-jordan-neely-turns-himself-in-after-charge-against-him-revealed" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Daniel Penny</a>, the man who put Jordan Neely into a fatal headlock aboard a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/new-york-city" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York City</a> subway train last month, according to multiple reports on Wednesday.</p>
<p>The New York Post, which reported the indictment <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/06/14/daniel-penny-indicted-in-chokehold-death-of-jordan-neely/?utm_source=twitter&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_campaign=nypost" target="_blank" rel="noopener">based on sources</a>, said exact charges remain unclear. The charges will be unsealed when Penny is arraigned on the indictment at a later date, <a href="https://abc7ny.com/daniel-penny-jordan-neely-subway-death-indicted/13382524/?ex_cid=TA_WABC_TW&amp;taid=648a24a4ed2f6d0001b5eb38&amp;utm_campaign=trueAnthem:+New+Content+(Feed)&amp;utm_medium=trueAnthem&amp;utm_source=twitter" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a local ABC affiliate reported</a>.</p>

<p lang="en" dir="ltr">BREAKING: A Manhattan grand jury has indicted former U.S. Marine Daniel Penny in connection with the chokehold death of Jordan Neely aboard a subway train.</p>

<p>&#8220;I appreciate DA [Alvin] Bragg conducting a thorough investigation into the death of Jordan Neely,&#8221; New York City Mayor Eric Adams said in a statement. &#8220;Like I said when the DA first brought charges, I have the utmost faith in the judicial process, and now that the Grand Jury has indicted Daniel Penny, a trial and justice can move forward.&#8221;</p>
<p>Penny, who has been identified as a Marine veteran in his mid-20s, previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/marine-vet-accused-of-killing-jordan-neely-turns-himself-in-after-charge-against-him-revealed" target="_blank" rel="noopener">surrendered</a> to law enforcement in New York on second-degree manslaughter charges about a month ago. At the time, Penny did not enter a plea and was released on $100,000 bail. A conviction on a manslaughter charge could put Penny in prison for up to 15 years.</p>
<p>Attorneys representing Penny had said they “fully expect that Danny will be exonerated of all charges,” according to <a href="https://abc7chicago.com/former-marine-accused-of-choking-subway-rider-to-death-released-on-/13242081/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ABC News</a>.</p>
<p>Penny and some witnesses claimed Neely, a homeless man known over the years for his dancing Michael Jackson impersonations, as well as mental health issues and extensive criminal history, was shouting and threatening riders aboard a subway train on May 1.</p>
<p>Bystander video showed a man, later identified as Penny, already restraining Neely in a headlock on the floor of a subway train with the help of others. Neely appeared to lose consciousness and was pronounced dead after being taken to a hospital, according to the <a href="https://apnews.com/article/subway-chokehold-jordan-neely-eric-adams-ny-32738691fce26628a698fc3b10550320">Associated Press</a>. New York City&#8217;s medical examiner <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/05/03/medical-examiner-rules-jordan-neelys-death-a-homicide-after-subway-choking/">ruled</a> Neely&#8217;s death a homicide due to “compression of neck (chokehold),&#8221; but the ruling did not determine culpability.</p>
<p>Lawyers representing Neely&#8217;s family have picked up on the claim that Penny held Neely in a headlock for 15 minutes and demanded Penny face a more-serious <a href="https://www.amny.com/news/neely-family-lawyers-penny-manslaughter-charge-isnt-enough/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">murder charge</a>. “Daniel Penny wasn’t attacked, he wasn’t hit. But he put him [Neely] in a chokehold. He came up from behind and he didn’t let Jordan go for 15 minutes,” attorney Donte Mills said, according to local news station <a href="https://pix11.com/news/local-news/manhattan/daniel-penny-speaks-out-first-time-since-jordan-neelys-death/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">PIX11</a>.</p>

<p>In video clips released by his lawyers over the weekend, Penny said he jumped into action to protect himself and commuters. Penny also claimed the entire interaction <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/daniel-penny-speaks-out-about-death-of-jordan-neely-disputes-key-claim-about-headlock" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lasted less than five minutes</a>, not 15 minutes as was reportedly stated by an independent journalist who recorded video of the encounter.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

<p>&#8220;Some people say I was trying to choke him to death, which is also not true. I was trying to restrain him,&#8221; Penny added. &#8220;You can see in the video there’s a clear rise and fall of his chest, indicating that he’s breathing. I’m trying to restrain him from being able to carry out the threats.&#8221;</p>
<p>In addition, Penny denied that race was a motivating factor. He called such claims &#8220;absolutely ridiculous,&#8221; adding, &#8220;I didn&#8217;t see a black man threatening passengers. I saw a man threatening passengers, a lot of whom were people of color.&#8221;</p>
