According to police officials, Jordan Neely had been harassing passengers on the subway and making threats when he was placed in a minutes-long headlock by a former US Marine. By the time the train pulled into Broadway-Lafayette, Neely was no longer conscious. Footage shared on social media showed Neely on the ground with a man's arm around his neck. A second man held his arms and a third held down his shoulder. Neely's death has led to outrage over the treatment of homeless people and the mental health crisis in New York City. The man who placed him in the headlock was released without charges while a police investigation continues
