CRIME STOPPERS

Lawyers for the 24-year-old man at the center of the chokehold death of Jordan Neely on a Manhattan subway train said their client “never intended to harm” the 30-year-old homeless man, and “could not have foreseen his untimely death.”

The death of a homeless man who allegedly had threatened passengers aboard a New York City subway and was put into a chokehold by one of the riders has been deemed a homicide, according to the medical examiner.
