Police in New York City clashed with demonstrators protesting the death of Jordan Neely, a 30-year-old man who died after he was placed in a chokehold by a fellow subway passenger, again on Monday, May 8.
Footage filmed by Ben Von Klemperer shows a group of people protesting on the platform at Broadway-Lafayette subway station.
Other video from Von Klemperer shows the protesters on the street near the station clashing with police. At least two people can be seen being held with their hands behind their backs by officers. One man is pinned to the ground and handcuffed.
Neely was placed in a chokehold for several minutes by another passenger on the train on May 1. The other passenger was identified on Friday as former US Marine Daniel Penny.
Neely’s death was ruled to be a homicide, local media reported on May 3, citing the city’s medical examiner. Penny was released without charge, pending further investigation, according to reports. Credit: Ben Von Klemperer via Storyful
