NEW YORK -- Charges have been dropped against a man involved in a deadly subway stabbing in Brooklyn.

Twenty-year-old Jordan Williams was facing manslaughter charges after fatally stabbing 36-year-old Devictor Ouedraogo on a J train on June 13.

Ouedraogo reportedly harassed a woman and attacked Williams before Williams stabbed Ouedraogo in the chest with a folding knife.

A grand jury refused to indict Williams after video of the attack showed he acted in self-defense.
