Original Note:
Police report Neely acted aggressively and threatened and threw garbage at passengers. Video confirms multiple passengers restrained him. Without further evidence about what lead to their actions, it is misleading to claim this was a "lynching". https://nypost.com/2023/05/03/manhattan-da-mulling-charges-against-vigilante-in-subway-death/ 5/20/2012 video of Neely: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rtLdvG_nv54
