Politicians who have downplayed rising crime in New York City were quick to condemn bystanders who intervened in the altercation that led to the death of Jordan Neely.
The comments come after video showing the dramatic altercation aboard a New York City subway that led to Neely's death went viral Wednesday, sparking widespread debate over the force passengers used to restrain Neely. Michael Lee is a writer at Fox News. Follow him on Twitter @UAMichaelLee
According to NYPD, Neely boarded the subway and began displaying erratic behavior, demanding food while acting aggressively and threatening the safety of passengers. That's when a group of passengers on the train stepped in to intervene, with one 24-year-old Marine veteran placing Neely in a chokehold.
