As ever more city and state pols strongly condemned an incident where a homeless Black man was killed by being placed in a chokehold by another man on a subway car Monday as vigilantism, Mayor Eric Adams said Thursday he’s going to wait for pending investigations around the case to play out before taking a stance.
“I have been extremely clear that the [Manhattan] District Attorney and the Police Department, they’re doing their investigations and I’m going to respect that,” Adams said during an unrelated press conference in Forest Hills, Queens on Thursday afternoon.
