No U.S. state requires civilian strangers to physically intervene when they see an adult in danger, though some impose a duty to report wrongdoing and two set an ambiguous standard of assistance. Did bystanders on Neely's train have duty to intervene?:
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, in New York, April 4, 2023.
But in New York, one of the nation’s most densely populated cities, the death has prompted conversation about what moral duty onlookers have to one another and to the most troubled people among them. Only one person has been officially blamed. On Friday, Penny, 24, was charged with second-degree manslaughter. He has not yet been indicted or entered a plea. The men who helped hold Neely down have not been arrested or charged. It is unclear if police know their identities.
Debate over if or when bystanders should intervene intensified after the 1964 sexual assault and murder of Kitty Genovese in Queens. The New York Times initially reported that 38 people had witnessed the attack at various points but did nothing to help.
