The Big Apple straphanger charged with stabbing a rowdy ex-con to death on a Brooklyn J train was found to have acted in self-defense — leading to his manslaughter case being dismissed Wednesday, The Post has learned.

A grand jury declined to indict 20-year-old Jordan Williams, who had been charged with manslaughter and criminal possession of a weapon in the June 13 melee that left Devictor Ouedraogo dead.

His self-defense claim was bolstered by video footage presented to the grand jury, which allegedly showed Ouedraogo choking Williams and his girlfriend before Williams stabbed him, according to sources.

In addition to the unreleased video of the incident, the sources said witnesses on the train also supported Williams’ claim that he acted in self-defense after he was attacked by Ouedraogo.

“Our office conducted an impartial and thorough investigation of this tragic case, which included review of multiple videos and interviews with all available witnesses, and that evidence was fairly presented to a grand jury. Today, the charges against Jordan Williams have been dismissed,” a spokesman for District Attorney Eric Gonzalez said in a statement[/quote]

Good.   They should be dropped.

As should the charges against Daniel Penny.[/quote]
