NEW YORK — Jurors saw video Monday of Daniel Penny gripping a man around the neck on a subway train as another passenger beseeched the Marine veteran to let go.
Penny has pleaded not guilty. His lawyers say he was defending himself and his fellow passengers, stepping up in one of the volatile moments that New York straphangers dread but most shy from confronting. He made high schooler Ivette Rosario so nervous that she thought she’d pass out, she testified Monday. She’d seen outbursts on subways before, “but not like that,” she said.
The train soon stopped, and she got out but kept watching from the platform. She would soon place one of the first 911 calls about what was happening. But first, her shaking hand pressed record on her phone.
