A Manhattan grand jury could be convened as early as next week in the fatal subway chokehold of Jordan Neely, The Post has learned.

Marine Daniel Penny, 24, was identified as the man caught on video putting Nealy, 30, into a headlock for minutes on an F train at a Lower Manhattan subway stop on Monday afternoon.

Penny was taken into custody briefly but released without charges, with the police saying they would wait for the medical examiner’s autopsy before deciding whether to bring a criminal case against the West Islip infantry squad leader.

A grand jury could be called by the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office as early as next week to determine whether to indict Penny, a law enforcement source told The Post.

The DA’s Office said Wednesday that “senior, experienced prosecutors” were carrying out a “rigorous” probe of the tragic incident. The office said it will review the ME’s report, video and interview witnesses as part of the investigation.

Let's hope the grand jury does the right thing (whatever that turns out to be) and doesn't just become a political rubberstamp for a racist, leftist DA.
