Baltazar recalls being punched in the head by Neely while waiting for a train in Greenwich Village back in 2019. &#8220;He hit me above my right eye,&#8221; Baltazar said. He believes that Neely should have been in a rehab center and that Daniel Penny, the U.S. Marine veteran who restrained Neely, should not be punished for his actions.<\/p>\n<h3>Neely&#8217;s History of Arrests and Mental Health Struggles<\/h3>\n<p>As highlighted by The Daily Wire, Neely had a lengthy record of arrests, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/new-york-city-woman-shot-in-violent-clash-as-rival-tow-truck-companies-fight-over-her-car-report\/\" title=\"New York City Woman Shot In Violent Clash As Rival Tow Truck Companies Fight Over Her Car: Report\">including felony assault<\/a>, and was struggling with mental health. In 2021, he punched a 67-year-old woman in the face, which landed him in a program for 15 months. On the day of his death, Neely boarded the F train and began screaming at passengers, threatening to hurt anyone on the train and saying he was ready to die.<\/p>\n<h3>Penny&#8217;s Statement and Hope for Change<\/h3>\n<p>Daniel Penny, with the help of others, restrained Neely after he began aggressively threatening them. Penny&#8217;s attorneys released a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/life-is-precious-kenny-chesney-speaks-out-after-fan-tragically-dies-at-concert\/\" title=\"\u2018Life Is Precious\u2019: Kenny Chesney Speaks Out After Fan Tragically Dies At Concert\">statement expressing condolences<\/a> to those close to Neely and highlighting the need for a new commitment by elected officials to address the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/9-year-old-girl-pepper-sprayed-during-interaction-with-rochester-police\/\" title=\"9-Year-Old Girl Pepper Sprayed During Interaction With Rochester Police\">mental health crisis<\/a> on our streets and subways.
