IN WAKE OF JORDAN NEELY’S DEATH, MAYOR ADAMS URGES NEW YORKERS TO CALL 911 OR
311 WHEN ENCOUNTERING EMOTIONALLY DISTRESSED


By Chris Sommerfeldt and Michael Gartland
New York Daily News

May 16, 2023 at 4:46 pm





Cellphone video captures deadly chokehold incident on subway.






Two weeks after a Marine vet choked a mentally disturbed homeless man to death
on the subway, Mayor Adams advised New Yorkers to call 911 or 311 if they
encounter a situation involving someone in a similar state of emotional
distress.

“Everyday New Yorkers — they should call the 311 or 911 system if a person is
doing something extremely dangerous,” he said during a Tuesday morning interview
on NY1. “Proper personnel could respond, and that includes mental health
professionals, and in those cases where it’s needed, a law enforcement
professional.

“It’s the combination of the two that’s going to ensure a person can get the
care that they need.”

Adams and his administration have remained silent for weeks about what everyday
straphangers should do if confronted with a situation similar to the one that
former Marine Daniel Penny and other passengers faced on May 1 when Jordan
Neely, a homeless man known for his Michael Jackson impersonations, began
menacing people on an F train.

York Daily News)

Penny put Neely in a chokehold from behind for several minutes, which resulted
in the city medical examiner classifying Neely’s death as a homicide and Penny
being charged by the Manhattan district attorney with second-degree
manslaughter.

Penny’s lawyers have argued he acted in self-defense.

Adams was asked about Neely’s death and subway safety on both NY1 and PIX11
Tuesday morning. During his interview on PIX11, he offered a slightly different
response, saying that straphangers should “call 911 all the time” if confronted
with someone acting dangerously.

“If it’s just a person that’s sleeping on a platform, you call 311 and the
proper personnel would come to make sure we give them the needed services,” he
added.

chokehold while aboard a New York City subway, as it pulls into the
Broadway-Lafayette St. station in Manhattan on Monday, May 1, 2023. (Juan
Alberto Vazquez/Juan Vazquez)

But Adams had little to say when asked Tuesday about the more than $1 million
that’s been raised for the legal defense fund of Penny. He also didn’t respond
when asked about his rationale for remaining relatively silent on Penny, given
the fact that he’s publicly discussed pending criminal cases on several other
occasions.

When asked about Penny’s legal defense fund, the mayor sidestepped the question,
saying that “right now we should allow this case to move forward with our
criminal justice system.”



“It’s up to the district attorney to determine exactly how that is going to take
place,” he added. “My heart is to the family and my heart is to the people of
this city ... any time I lose a New Yorker in this city, I take it personal.”

2023, in Manhattan, New York. (Barry Williams/for New York Daily News)

Adams has refrained from condemning Penny publicly. Last week, he attempted to
explain his silence on the case, saying that any comments he makes about Penny
could taint the prosecution against him.



But Adams didn’t appear to have similar concerns later Tuesday while appearing
next to Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez to announce criminal charges
against dozens of alleged gang members.

“They are dangerous people,” Adams said of the defendants, many of whom face
murder charges.

Jordan Neely is pictured before going to see the Michael Jackson movie, "This is
It," outside the Regal Cinemas on 8th Ave. and 42nd St. in Times Square, New
York, in 2009. (Andrew Savulich/New York Daily News)

Councilwoman Tiffany Caban (D-Queens) said the mayor needs to broaden his view
of what public safety means and who is dangerous.

“The way the mayor talks, some people deserve safety, protection and due
process, and others don’t,” she said. “When we talk about ‘public safety,’ we
need to mean everybody. Jordan Neely was a member of the public, as well. He
deserved safety, as well.”

Adams’ Tuesday remarks about alleged gang members aren’t the first time the
mayor has weighed in publicly about a high-profile criminal case.

Last July, after 35-year-old Austin Simon was knifed to death by Harlem bodega
clerk Jose Alba, the mayor spoke up for the clerk, saying at the time that he
acted in self-defense. And in March, a Manhattan Supreme Court judge ruled the
city violated the law when Adams, NYPD Commissioner Keechant Sewell and the
department’s Chief of Crime Control Strategies Michael Lipetri cited hundreds of
sealed arrests of 10 New Yorkers at a press conference.



Asked by the Daily News at the Brooklyn press conference why he feels
comfortable condemning alleged gang members but not someone accused of
manslaughter, Adams demurred.

“Thank you for your question,” he said. “Let’s stay focused.”
