Shocking footage shown at Daniel Penny’s trial shows the moment emergency doctors said Jordan Neely had a pulse

Shocking footage shown in court showed the moment first responders said Jordan Neely still had a pulse after ex-Marine Daniel Penney strangled the troubled homeless man on a Manhattan subway last year.

Chaotic body camera footage in which two police officers confirmed an unconscious Neely still had a pulse when they arrived at the Fulton station on May 1, 2023, was shown to jurors in Penny’s manslaughter trial in Manhattan Supreme Court.

“I can feel a pulse,” one officer said, while a second officer confirmed Neely “had a pulse” before he died.

Moments later, one officer could be heard saying, “He’s not breathing.”

The video showed medics trying to resuscitate Neely with chest massage, CPR, a defibrillator and a Narcan injection.

The dramatic footage was replayed as New York City police officer Teodoro Tejada testified as the first witness on Friday.

The officer told prosecutors that Neal initially had a “faint pulse” when first responders arrived, but after several minutes officers could no longer detect a pulse.

Tejada also searched Neal for a weapon, but found only a bun in his jacket.

According to the footage, a calm Penny could be seen standing calmly next to Neely’s unconscious body and casually chewing what could have been chewing gum.

Penny, 26, is accused of strangling Neely, 30, for more than six minutes on a crowded F train after the homeless man stormed the train, “behaving erratically and in a threatening manner” towards other passengers.

Penny, who faces up to 15 years behind bars, was also heard on the video telling officers he “knocked (Neely) down.”

Additional footage from NYPD Officer Dennis Kang’s body camera showed the officer yelling, “My man! Stay with me…yo!” as he violently shook Neely’s stomach, trying to wake him up.

“I did feel a pulse a few times, but I didn’t feel it at first … about the third time I felt a slight pulse,” Kahn testified on direct examination, adding that he rubbed Neela’s sternum rather than performing rescue breaths, though he never saw Neely’s breath.

He noted that the police did not have the proper equipment when they arrived at the scene.

NYPD Sergeant Carl Johnson’s body camera showed a different angle of officers performing chest compressions on Neely before EMS arrived.

Johnson told the court he ordered Narcan during the chaotic scene, claiming Neely was “an obvious drug user and was very dirty.”

The trial is expected to last up to six weeks.
