NYPD black and blue: Moment gang of four migrants beats two police officers to ground in Times Square – before being freed without bail

Four migrants were filmed punching two NYPD officers to the ground in Times Square… before being released without bail.

The incident began Saturday evening around 8:30 PM on West 42nd Street, when officers ordered the violent quartet men to move.

At that point, a fight broke out between a suspect in a yellow sweatshirt and the police officers.

According to the NYPD, the migrants then began attacking the officers, kicking them in the head and body, while the two officers tried to pin one of the other men down and remove his sweatshirt.

The migrants then ran away, leaving the unidentified police officers on the ground as they fled east on 42nd Street toward Seventh Avenue.

The gang allegedly struck after they were asked to drive through without police. The suspected attackers were later arrested… and then released without bail

Around 10:44 p.m. that evening, four of them — Darwin Andres Gomez Izquiel, 19, Kelvin Servat Arocha, 19, Juarez Wilson, 21, and Yorman Reveron, 24 — were arrested.

They were all charged with assault on a police officer, gang assault, obstruction of governmental administration and disorderly conduct, but were released without bail.

New York has come under fire for progressive laws aimed at sending people who can’t afford bail to languish in jail for months.

Critics say this has led to a spike in the number of violent criminals released straight back onto the streets – and encouraged them to reoffend, knowing there will be little consequence.

Jhoan Boada, 22, was arrested Monday evening and charged with attempted assault on a police officer and gang assault.

Police sources confirmed the men’s migrant status the New York Post.

The officers cut the face of one and bruised the body of the other – on the spot.

Reveron, the oldest of the arrested men, already has two open cases for assault and theft in Manhattan after stealing and assaulting a Nordstrom Rack employee in November.

Times Square is one of New York’s most famous tourist meccas, but it also has a reputation for being a rough area full of criminals

The worker caught him trying to take an item worth $130 before allegedly ‘pushing, hitting and biting’ them.

He also allegedly punched a loss prevention officer at the famed Herald Square Macy’s while trying to commit a robbery with two other suspects.

Patrick Hendry, president of the Police Benevolent Association, issued a statement condemning the attacks and the criminal justice system that allowed at least one of these men to reoffend.

“Assaults on police officers are becoming an epidemic, and the reason is that we see a revolving door in cases like this,” Hendry said.

“It is impossible for police officers to effectively tackle crime and disorder if the justice system cannot or will not protect us while we do that job.”

The incident remains under investigation by the office of “progressive” Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.

The attack comes as New York City in particular struggles under the weight of tens of thousands of migrants arriving at the border in need of places to stay and other accommodations.

In 2023 alone, the city had to deal with the arrival of more than 100,000 migrants.

New York Mayor Eric Adams has called for state and federal aid as it is estimated that the migrant crisis will cost the city $12 billion over the next three years – an amount that the Hochul administration will likely try to offset somewhat with the new work plan.

New York is a Right to Shelter state and is required to house asylum seekers, but shelters have been filling up at an astronomical rate.

In Manhattan, a number of historic hotels have been converted into makeshift shelters and temporary housing.

In September, Hochul said: “We need to make it clear that if you come to New York, you won’t have more hotel rooms, we don’t have capacity.

‘So we must also make it clear that we have reached the limit: if you are going to leave your country, go somewhere else.’
