A 66-year-old female witness to the incident spoke anonymously to The New York Post last night on the eve of Penny's arraignment to support him.
She said there are more videos of the altercation that led up to the chokehold that she believes will absolve Penny of wrongdoing.
'So I believe that those videos are going to come forward, maybe people will do it anonymously.
'I hope he has a great lawyer, and I’m praying for him. And I pray that he gets treated fairly, I really do.
'Because after all of this ensued I went back and made sure that I said, "thank you" to him.'
She said Neely brought on the chokehold by threatening the entire train and many of them took the threats seriously.
'He said, "I don’t care. I’ll take a bullet, I’ll go to jail" because he would kill people on the train.
'He said ‘I would kill a motherf***er. I don’t care. I’ll take a bullet. I’ll go to jail.'
'This gentleman, Mr. Penny, did not stand up. Did not engage with the gentleman. He said not a word. It was all Mr. Neely that was… threatening the passengers. If he did not get what he wants,' she said.
Eventually, Penny stood up and pulled him to the ground. Two other men helped subdue him.
