New York prosecutors will charge a US Marine -- who allegedly caused the chokehold death of a homeless man on the city subway -- with manslaughter, a spokesman said Thursday. ManilaBulletin READ:
"We can confirm that Daniel Penny will be arrested on a charge of manslaughter in the second degree," the spokesperson for Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg told AFP.The death of Jordan Neely -- widely identified as a Michael Jackson impersonator who often performed on the train -- earlier this month sparked outrage.
The video showed Neely, 30, on the ground of a subway train as another man, reportedly 24-year-old US Marine Penny, held him around the neck. The incident touches on two burning issues in America's financial capital -- the many homeless people suffering mental illness and residents' fears for their safety on the underground.Family and friends told local media that Neely had a history of mental illness, like many living on the streets in the country's biggest city, with almost nine million residents.
