Teen witness to Jordan Neely chokehold testifies she was 'scared' by his shouting, wanted to 'get away'

A teen subway rider present during a deadly encounter between Marine veteran Daniel Penny and belligerent homeless man Jordan Neely testified on Monday that she was "scared" by the latter's screaming before a chokehold rendered him silent.

Ivette Rosario, 19, was riding the F train subway car with her friend when Penny put Neely in a chokehold in May 2023.

Rosario is a high school senior from the Bronx who has lived in New York City for a decade after immigrating from the Dominican Republic.
