Seventh migrant busted in vicious on-camera gang beating of NYPD cops in Times Square: sources
NY Post
An 18-year-old migrant was busted Tuesday in the rowdy gang beating of two NYPD cops in Times Square, making him the seventh asylum-seeking thug to be tied to the shocking caught-on-video attack.
Yarwuin Madris was picked up by cops in the Bronx and is awaiting charges in the attack on an NYPD lieutenant and a police officer while they tried to break up an unruly crowd on Jan. 27, law enforcement sources told The Post.
Only one of the migrants linked to the attack was ordered held without bail — Yohenry Brito, 19 — while the others were charged with assault and released without bail.
Police sources said most of them — Yorman Reveron, 24; Jhoan Borada, 22; Wilson Juarez, 21; Darwin Andres Gomez-Izquiel, 19; and Kelvin Servita Arocha, 19 — are believed to have hopped on a bus and fled to California by giving phony names to a church-affiliated nonprofit group.
Additional video footage released last week showed that the brawl started when cops tried to take Brito into custody, with his cohorts then coming to his aid and pounding the cops.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who came under fire for the no-bail release of five of the accused migrant thugs, announced indictments against the group last week.
