The family of Jordan Neely has thanked Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez after a grand jury brought charges against Daniel Penny for the fatal subway choking.

The exact charges are unclear and an indictment is expected to be unsealed at a later court date. Mr Penny was initially charged with second-degree manslaughter on 12 May. He did not enter a plea. He was released after posting $100,000 bail, and his next appearance is scheduled for 17 July.
