About six years later, he boarded a subway under Manhattan on May 1, 2023, hurled his jacket onto the floor, and declared that he was hungry and thirsty and didn’t care if he died or went to jail, witnesses said. Some told 911 operators that he tried to attack people or indicated he’d harm riders, and several testified that they were nervous or outright feared for their lives.

He wasn’t just upset… he was threatening people.

Neely was unarmed, with nothing but a muffin in his pocket, and didn’t touch any passengers on the train. Multiple riders testified that he didn’t even approach anybody.

This makes it sound like the “threat” was flimsy at best. The next line indicates the mother of a 5 year old shielded their kid from him but…like that’s just a mom move. Shed probably also shield the kid from a homeless guy shitting on the BART.
