NEW YORK — Daniel Penny turned himself in to New York City police on Friday to face criminal charges in connection with the chokehold death of Jordan Neely aboard a subway train.
Penny, 24, was seen walking in to the New York City Police Department's 5th Precinct in Chinatown shortly after 8 a.m. ET. He's expected to appear in court Friday afternoon.
Penny"acted with indifference," Neely family attorney Donte Mills said at a news conference hours after Penny turned himself in."And we can't let that stand." Attorneys for Penny said in a statement Thursday night that they are confident that"once all the facts and circumstances surrounding this tragic incident are brought to bear, Mr. Penny will be fully absolved of any wrongdoing."
In an earlier statement, Penny's attorneys offered"condolences to those close to Mr. Neely" and claimed"Mr. Neely began aggressively threatening Daniel," and that the Marine veteran and others"acted to protect themselves."
