• A retiree who witnessed Marine veteran Daniel Penny fatally choke an erratic homeless man on a train earlier this month called him a hero and slammed Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg for prosecuting him.
• “He’s a hero,” said the passenger, who has lived in New York City more than 50 years.
• The witness, who described herself as a woman of color, said it was wrong for Bragg to charge Penny with second-degree manslaughter.
• “It was self-defense, and I believe in my heart that he saved a lot of people that day that could have gotten hurt,” she told Fox News Digital.
