Witnesses say the man was yelling and seemed to be suffering a mental health episode before another subway passenger restrained him in a fatal chokehold
A man who witnesses said was yelling and appeared to be suffering a mental health episode in a New York City subway car was killed when another passenger grabbed him from behind and placed him in a chokehold, authorities said.
After about two minutes, the man’s body appears to go limp. The other two continue to hold him down for nearly a minute before letting go. Someone can be heard advising them to position the man on his side in case he chokes. People on the subway car moved away from the man even though he did not seem to want to hurt anyone, Vázquez wrote, and appeared to be suffering from a mental illness.
