Daniel Penny trial: Subway madman raised fists before Marine vet's deadly chokehold, witness testifies

Moments before New York Marine veteran Daniel Penny placed the erratic Jordan Neely in a chokehold that proved fatal, the emotionally disturbed homeless man raised his fists in the middle of a subway car while shouting at passengers, a witness testified Thursday.

Moriela Sanchez, an 18-year-old from Harlem, said she was taking the train home from school when chaos broke out.

Neely, 30, threw his jacket down and squared up, she testified on day 11 of what is expected to be a six-week trial in New York City.
