Jordan Neely had a troubling history of violent attacks on straphangers in
New York City before the disturbed man reportedly threatened passengers
and Marine vet Daniel Penny allegedly put him in a fatal chokehold.

The 30-year-old vagrant, who once performed as a Michael Jackson
impersonator, had been arrested dozens of times � including most recently
for vicious assaults on subway riders, court records show.

In 2021, Neely socked a 67-year-old woman as she exited the Bowery station
in the East Village in Lower Manhattan.

The woman sustained a broken nose, a fractured orbital bone, and
"bruising, swelling and substantial pain to the back of her head" in the
Nov. 12 attack, according to a criminal complaint.

Neely pleaded guilty to felony assault Feb. 9 in exchange for a 15-month alternative-to-incarceration program, according to the Manhattan District Attorney's Office. He was supposed to stay in a treatment facility and
abstain from drugs.

If he had completed the program, the felony assault would have been
reduced to a misdemeanor, but he skipped a compliance court date and left
the facility. A warrant was issued for his arrest on Feb. 23. It wasn't immediately clear how long he spent in jail awaiting the resolution of the assault case.

EXPERTS SAY

The troubled man, who has a history of mental illness and drug addiction,
had a difficult upbringing. His mother was strangled by her boyfriend in
2007 and found stuffed in a suitcase in the Bronx.

Court records show that as an adult Neely regularly lashed out at
strangers on the subway and on the street.

From January 2020 to August 2021, he was arrested for public lewdness
after pulling down his pants and exposing himself to a female stranger, misdemeanor assault for hitting a woman in the face, and criminal contempt
for violating a restraining order. All three cases were dismissed as part
of his Feb. 9 plea deal.

NYC SUBWAY

In June 2019, Neely attacked Filemon Castillo Baltazar, 68, on the
platform of the W. 4th St. Station in Greenwich Village, according to the
court papers.

"Out of nowhere, he punched me in the face," the victim told the New York
Daily News. He said he'd seen Neely before looking for food in the trash
bins.

One month prior, he hit a man so hard in the face that he broke his nose
on the platform of the Broadway-Lafayette station � the same subway stop
where he died four years later.

For both 2019 cases, he pleaded guilty to misdemeanor assault and was
sentenced to six months in jail.

Outreach workers were so familiar with Neely that he was on the city's
"Top 50" list � an internal roster kept by the Department of Homeless
Services of people living on the street who were most in need of help, the
New York Post reported. He had cycled in and out of hospitals and jails
for years.

Neely's tragic death unfolded May 1 at bout 2:30 p.m. after he boarded an
F train screaming and threatening passengers, according to a freelance journalist who recorded the confrontation.

Penny grabbed him from behind, dragged him to the ground and allegedly
wrapped his arm around his neck until he lost consciousness and died.
Penny hasn't been criminally charged.

Penny's attorneys, Steven Raiser and Thomas Kenniff, argued that Penny had acted in self-defense to protect himself and other riders and could not
have anticipated Neely's unfortunate death.

Donte Mills and Lennon Edwards, lawyers for Neely's family, said Penny
needs to be in prison for the killing.

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg said his office is investigating Neely's death, which has sparked public outrage and widespread protests
across the city.

More than a dozen demonstrators have been arrested.

"NY Penal Law 35.15 states: �a person may use physical force upon another individual when, and to the extent that, he/she reasonably believes it to
be necessary to defend himself/herself [or someone else] from what he/she reasonably believes to be the use or imminent use of [unlawful] physical
force by such individual."

There shouldn't even be any charges against the marine.

In no way did he violate the law.
