A man seen on video putting another man in a deadly chokehold on a New York City subway train turned himself in Friday morning to face criminal charges, his lawyer said. Daniel Penny, a 24-year-old Marine veteran, is being charged with second degree manslaughter, the Manhattan district attorney's office said Thursday.
Jordan Neely, a 30-year-old former Michael Jackson impersonator who was homeless, died after being put in a chokehold by Penny earlier this month.
Penny surrendered to New York City police officers shortly after 8 a.m. Friday, according to his lawyer, Thomas Kenniff. The attorney expected his client to be arraigned Friday afternoon.
