Four migrants suspected of attacking two NYPD officers in Times Square have reportedly fled to California. The migrants, identified as Darwin Andres Gomez, Kelvin Servita Arocha, Wilson Juarez, and Yorman Reveron, were able to escape after being released without bail following their arrests. It is believed that they gave fake names to a nonprofit group assisting migrants in leaving New York City, allowing them to board a bus bound for California. The New York’s Office of Court Administration claims to be unaware of their whereabouts but expects them to appear in court as scheduled.
The attack, which was caught on camera, occurred near the New Amsterdam theater and resulted in minor injuries to the officers. The suspects face multiple charges, including assault on a police officer and gang assault. This incident has heightened concerns among city leaders over how to handle the increasing number of migrants and the strain it places on resources. The escape of the four migrants suspected of attacking two NYPD officers in Times Square has raised serious concerns about the effectiveness of the criminal justice system. The fact that they were able to flee to California after being released without bail is alarming, highlighting potential flaws in the system.
