The former Marine who on a subway train in New York prior to his death on Monday released a statement in which he said that he acted in self defense in the incident and that he 'never intended to harm' the schizophrenic. 'Earlier this week was involved in a tragic incident on the Subway, which ended in the death of Jordan Neely. We would first like to express, on behalf of Daniel Penny, our condolences to those close to Mr. Neely,' the press release reads. 'Mr Neely had a documented history of violent and erratic behavior, the apparent result of ongoing and untreated mental illness. When Mr Neely began aggressively threatening Daniel Penny and the other passengers, Daniel, with the help of others, acted to protect themselves, until help arrived. Daniel never intended to harm Mr Neely and could not have foreseen his untimely death,' it continues.
