On May 1, a white man riding the F train in Manhattan put a Black passenger in a choke hold. The latter had been screaming about how he didn’t have anything to eat or drink, according to a witness who spoke with multiple media outlets and who said there was no physical provocation prior to the incident. That witness also filmed a nearly-four-minute video that shows the Black man flailing his arms and legs before he eventually goes still and another person turns his limp body on its side. Police say officers who arrived at the Broadway–Lafayette Street subway station were unable to revive the man, and doctors pronounced him dead at a hospital in Greenwich Village.
