The Tragic Consequences of Neglecting Mental Health in Subway Crisis Situations.

Attorneys for Daniel Penny, the man who restrained Jordan Neely in a fatal chokehold on a New York City subway train, claim he did not intend to harm Neely and acted to protect himself and other passengers from Neely's aggressive behavior. Neely's death has been ruled a homicide, but charges have not been filed as the case is under investigation by the Manhattan district attorney. The incident has sparked protests and highlighted the city's struggles with homelessness and mental illness.
