NEW YORK—A grand jury has indicted a man who put an agitated New York City subway rider in a fatal chokehold, prosecutors confirmed Thursday.

Daniel Penny was initially charged with manslaughter last month in the May 1 death of Jordan Neely, a homeless man with a history of mental illness and criminal charges.
