Shocking video shows NYC subway passenger putting unhinged man in deadly chokehold
Troubling video footage captures the moment a 30-year-old is knocked out by a wannabe hero straphanger and held in a chokehold until he dies on the F train.

"Dramatic new video shows a straphanger taking matters into his own hands, pinning down an unhinged man in a deadly incident at a Manhattan subway station this week. The 24-year-old passenger stepped in after the vagrant, identified by sources as Jordan Neely, 30, began going on an aggressive rant on a northbound F train Monday afternoon, according to police and a witness who took the video. He started screaming in an aggressive manner,” freelance journalist Juan Alberto Vazquez told The Post. “He said he had no food, he had no drink, that he was tired and doesn’t care if he goes to jail. He started screaming all these things, took off his jacket, a black jacket that he had, and threw it on the ground.”
That’s when he said the straphanger came up behind Neely and took him to the ground in a chokehold — keeping him there for some 15 minutes, Vazquez said. The approximately three-minute-and-a-half-long video shot by Vazquez shows the subway rider lying on the floor of the train with his arm wrapped around the man’s neck. Neely — who was living on the streets and had a history of mental health issues — lost consciousness after being put in the chokehold, and EMS workers at the station were unable to revive him, police and law enforcement sources said. The straphanger — who sources said is a Marine veteran — was taken into custody and later released without charges."
Thank God this guy was on this train and stepped up to protect other passengers; he quite literally saved dozens of lives by taking about this homeless thug. Hopefully, he inspires others to do the same; because that is how this filth should be dealt with; we can't always rely on the cops to do the job for us, we have to do it ourselves...and as you see, he was released without charges, which makes it pretty clear that it is a lawful act to fight back against these vagrant scumbags. You all have seen it, you have seen these homeless people walking around, talking to themselves, acting erratically, basically posing a threat to everyone around them...and what did we do? We did nothing.....now is the time to do something about it.....thanks to this guy for showing us the way.
