“I was scared for myself but I looked around there was women and children, he was yelling in their faces saying these threats. I just couldn’t sit still,” he said.
Ex-marine Daniel Penny, who is charged with killing homeless man Jordan Neely on the subway last month, said he wasn’t “trying to choke him to death” when he jumped into action after Neely was threatening passengers.
“I was listening to music at the time, and I took my headphones out to hear what he was yelling,” he continued. “The three main threats that he repeated over and over again were I’m going to kill you, I’m prepared to go to jail for life and I’m willing to die.” “Some people say that I was holding on to Mr. Neely for 15 minutes. This is not true — between stops is only a couple of minutes. So the whole interaction lasted less than 5 minutes,” Penny clarified.
Neely had a history of mental illness and was known as a street performer impersonating Michael Jackson.“I don’t believe that I’m a hero, but she was one of those people I was trying to protect, who were all scared,” he said.
