Neely, a 30-year-old homeless man with over 40 prior arrests, died on Monday after Penny, 24, had placed him into a chokehold on the F train. Neely had reportedly started behaving erratically and showing aggression towards other passengers.
The footage shows Penny and one other passenger arranging Neely's body in the "recovery position" to ensure he would be okay. A passenger off-screen can be heard saying, "he'll be alright." Neely appears to be moving late in the video. The footage was discovered by the Twitter account Mythinformed on Facebook.
Penny had restrained Neely in a chokehold before he fell unconscious. The former Marine was taken into custody following the incident but was ultimately released. New York's medical examiner determined that Jordan Neely died from "compression of neck" and stated that his death resulted from "homicide."
