NYC Mayor Eric Adams Says Jordan Neely Chokehold ‘Never Should Have Happened’

Huff Post  

NEW YORK — New York City Mayor Eric Adams said Wednesday that the death of Jordan Neely at the hands of a fellow subway rider was “a tragedy that never should have happened” and pledged to do more to help people experiencing mental health crises. “I was a former transit police officer, and I responded to many jobs where you had a passenger assisting someone,” Adams said after Neely’s death was first reported. He noted that Neely shared a name with his own son, Jordan Coleman, and said all New Yorkers “must work together to do more for our brothers and sisters struggling with serious mental illness.” A message seeking comment on Adams’ speech was left with Mills, Neely’s family’s attorney. Neely’s mental health began deteriorating at some point after that, and Adams said the young man “interacted with many city agencies and community-based organizations and providers” over the years.
