Protests against the killing of homeless schizophrenic Jordan Neely on the New York City subway turned violent on Monday night, with a demonstrator pictured being restrained by police with blood pouring down his face.
Neely, 30, was killed on May 1 when, while ranting and throwing garbage at subway passengers, he was put into a chokehold by a 24-year-old former Marine, Daniel Penny.
Neely's death was decreed a homicide last week, and the Neely family are calling for Penny to be prosecuted. The Manhattan district attorney is weighing whether to press charges.
On Monday, demonstrators calling for justice for Neely took to the streets once again, rallying near the Broadway-Lafayette station in lower Manhattan where Neely was killed.
A well-known photographer, Stephanie Keith, whose work has appeared in The New York Times, Reuters and Getty, was detained.
One protester was seen being wrestled to the ground with blood pouring from a wound on his head.
Several more were pushed to the floor - one shirtless man had a police officer kneeling on his chest.
The NYPD is yet to confirm how many arrests were made, when asked by DailyMail.com.

Blessed be the thugs,
For they shall bring you reparations.
