In a controversial case drawing widespread attention, NYPD officers declined to perform CPR on Jordan Neely, a homeless Black man who died after being placed in a chokehold by former Marine Daniel Penny on a subway in Manhattan in May 2023. The incident unfolded on a New York City subway when Neely, exhibiting erratic behaviour, was placed in a chokehold by Penny, who claimed he was trying to de-escalate the situation. Video evidence revealed that NYPD officers on the scene declined to perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, citing concerns about potential hepatitis transmission due to Neely's appearance and alleged drug use. Sergeant Carl Johnson testified that officers opted for chest compressions instead, expressing the need to protect their own health amid the chaotic situation. The accused, Penny, a 25-year-old Marine Corps veteran and college student, faces up to 19 years in prison if convicted.
