Protesters jump onto subway tracks, clash with NYPD over Jordan Neely’s death
At least seven people were arrested in Manhattan Saturday after shutting down subway service and clashing with NYPD officers while protesting the chokehold death of homeless man Jordan Neely, law enforcement sources told The Post.
Dozens of demonstrators jumped onto the subway tracks at Lexington Avenue and East 63rd Street around 6:15 p.m., forcing an oncoming Q train to slam on the brakes at the mouth of the tunnel, video shows.
“No justice, no peace!” the protesters chanted as police can be heard struggling to call for order in the background.
The risky move caused the power to temporarily shut off in the Lenox Hill station.
After several minutes, the police were able to get the protesters off the tracks, allowing the train to roll into the station, but demonstrators were determined to continue blocking transit service.
The group was calling for justice in the case of Neely’s Monday homicide.

There’s no way out of a subway car, till it stops, and you’re stuck in there with a crazy guy yelling threats. You are completely on your own
Yes they are. For benefit of NYC tourists, the express tracks are in the middle. The outer tracks (uptown or downtown) are the locals and stop at every stop.
They are worth waiting for even if you see locals constantly coming in. Just check the stops on your subway map and take the express stop nearest to where you want to go. It's usually worth just walking to where you need to go from the nearest express stop.
May the trains be on time and slippery on the rails when headed protesters way
Too bad none of the useful idiots didn’t re enact the scene from the Taking of Pelham 123, where Robert Shaw, as Mr Blue upon being encountered by Walter Matthau slides his foot up against the 3rd rail thus roasting himself. Especially if they were, in typical fashion holding hands in solidarity. That would be... utterly shocking ⚡⚡⚡
Anyone living in or visiting that city ia an idiot
I do feel sorry if one is forced to go there for business just to keep one’s job.
Maybe a jury will agree.
He then took of his jacket and thossed it to the floor.
That scenario to me spells imminent attack.
Anyone who has spent more than three minutes in a NYC subway will tell you that this is simply a NYer having a very bad day.
(If everyone were to take this as evidence of an "imminent attack", there would be several people a week getting perforated in a NYC subway.)
No, you can move between cars.
In February 2023, there were 169 major crimes on the NYC subways.
Somehow I have a hard time correlating that with what you said.
