Multiple were arrested in NYC on Monday night during a protest over the death of Jordan Neely, who died on the subway during an altercation.
NYPD Chief of Department Jeffrey Maddrey said during a press conference that police found a Molotov cocktail on the ground. None of the arrests pertained to the found cocktail.
Freelance news photographer Stephani Keith was also taken into custody, with authorities alleging that she interfered with at least three arrests. Last week, a medical examiner in New York deemed the death of Jordan Neely a homicide. The incident occurred on Monday this week on the F train at the east Houston and Lafayette Street station after Neely had been allegedly throwing trash and yelling at passengers about his economic misfortunes. Neely had a history of mental issues and often frequented the station as a Michael Jackson impersonator. He also had an active warrant for his arrest for a felony assault.
