NYC Mayor Calls for Mental Health Services Overhaul After Jordan Neely's Death

New York Mayor Eric Adams has called for mental health care reform in the city and beyond following the death of Jordan Neely, a street performer who was restrained in a chokehold by another rider on a Manhattan subway. Neely, who was unsheltered and facing mental health challenges, died as a result of the incident, which is still under investigation as a homicide. Adams did not mention the exact circumstances of the incident or the rider's name, but highlighted the need for better systems to support those struggling with mental health problems.
