New Video Shows Marine Daniel Perry Put Jordan Neely In The Recovery Position, Stuck Around To Help Him – Passengers On The Train Complimented Him

Full footage that emerged on social media this Sunday revealed that marine corps veteran Daniel Penny had placed Jordan Neely in a “recovery position” after subduing him on the New York City subway earlier this week.

Jordan Neely, a 30-year-old violent homeless man and repeat offender with over 40 prior arrests, died on Monday after Penny, 24, had placed him into a chokehold on the F train. Neely had reportedly started behaving erratically and showing aggression towards other passengers.

The unearthed full footage revealed passengers complimenting Penny for taking action. It also shows Penny and one other passenger arranging Neely’s body in the “recovery position” in an attempt to ensure that he would be okay. A passenger off screen can be heard saying “he’ll be alright.” Neely appears to be moving late in the video.

Video below:

Penny put Neely in the recovery position – on his side with his chin up and knees bent – to make sure his airway was open and he was comfortable. This is an emergency first aid maneuver meant to save life. That’s EXTREMELY IMPORTANT to the context!

So is the fact that Neely appears to be breathing, and it seems the Marine and other passengers thought so too. They even complimented Penny!

He’ll be alright.

Unfortunately, Neely wasn’t. We have no idea why he stopped breathing after this point or even if CPR was administered once the police got there.

Meanwhile, activists are threatening to burn the city down.

The former Marine was taken into custody following the incident but was ultimately released.
