Daniel Penny has surrendered to New York City police and is expected to face a manslaughter charge for the death of Jordan Neely, who was put in a chokehold on the subway earlier this month.

Penny turned himself in at a Lower Manhattan precinct on Friday morning shortly after 8 a.m. at the request of District Attorney Alvin Bragg.

Medical examiners ruled Neely's death a homicide after Penny put the homeless man in a chokehold for around 15 minutes during an altercation on an F train.

In a statement released a few days after Neely's death, Penny's lawyers said their client "never intended to harm Mr. Neely and could not have foreseen his untimely death."

Penny faces a second-degree manslaughter charge and up to 15 years if found guilty. His lawyers said on Thursday, that "once all the facts and circumstances surrounding this tragic incident are brought to bear, Mr. Penny will be fully absolved of any wrongdoing."

Penny’s lawyers have argued that the former Marine acted in self-defense and only sought to protect other riders, "He did so voluntarily, and with the sort of dignity and integrity that is characteristic of his history of service to this grateful nation," Thomas Keniff of Raiser and Kenniff said Friday shortly after Penny surrendered. The 24-year-old’s arraignment is set for later in the afternoon.

Video footage from freelance journalist Jordan Vazque showed other riders assisting in pinning Neely down. Witnesses claim Neely was acting aggressively toward other passengers on a train, yelling in the subway.

Uprisings have caused The White House to respond to the event, "We firmly believe that the events surrounding his death demand a thorough investigation."

A court filing came 11 days after Neely’s death, which sparked a series of protests and demonstrations that upended mass transportation in the city. At least two dozen people have been taken into custody in recent protests, while the NYPD stated, “Violence has no place in civic demonstration.”
