NextImg:NYC subway rider who placed unhinged man in deadly chokehold released: cops

The man who allegedly placed an unhinged straphanger in a deadly chokehold on a Lower Manhattan train has been released without charges, cops said Tuesday morning. 

A 30-year-old man had been acting erratically and threatening passengers on board a northbound F train just before 2:30 p.m. Monday when another rider intervened to stop him, police said. 

That passenger, 24, put the disruptive man in a headlock, cops said.
