New York, May 10 (RHC)-- In New York, 11 people were arrested at a protest Monday night demanding justice for Jordan Neely, a 30-year-old unhoused Black man who was choked to death on a subway car last week by another passenger. 

Jordan Neely was crying out that he was hungry, when he was fatally attacked on the train by a 24-year former marine named Daniel Penny.  Penny was interviewed by police detectives but has not been arrested. 

Monday night’s protest follows a similar demonstration on Saturday, when police arrested 13 people at a sit-in protest demanding that Penny face charges.  They sat on the subway tracks until they were forcibly removed by police.
