Witnesses describe fear during NYC subway incident in Daniel Penny trial

Witnesses in the trial of Daniel Penny, charged with killing Jordan Neely, described feeling terrified during a May 2023 subway incident. They recounted Neely's erratic behavior, which they said was more alarming than previous outbursts they had witnessed. Several passengers testified that Neely shouted about his struggles and threatened to hurt people. However, one witness clarified that she did not hear him say he would kill anyone, contradicting Penny's defense that he acted to protect others. Witnesses also expressed mixed views on Penny's actions. Some felt he acted too aggressively, while others believed he was trying to restrain Neely out of fear for their safety. The trial continues as the jury hears more testimonies.
