A former US Marine has been indicted on a charge of second degree manslaughter over the subway chokehold death of Jordan Neely.
A New York grand jury voted on Wednesday to indict Daniel Penny, an ex-sergeant, over the killing of Mr Neely in Manhattan, according to local media reports.
Bystanders recorded Penny, 24, putting Mr Neely, 30, in a chokehold on 1 May this year as they rode on an F train.
Mr Neely, a former Michael Jackson impersonator who has battled mental illness, had been shouting about how hungry he was and how he was willing to return to jail or die, eyewitnesses said.
