NEW YORK — Two more suspects are under arrest Thursday for allegedly attacking two NYPD officers outside a migrant center in Times Square .
So far, police have arrested seven of the 12 suspects accused in the attack on Jan. 27, but NYPD officials have blasted the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office after some were set free on bail .
Surveillance video showed a group of men assaulting officers in front of a migrant center on West 42nd Street, police said.
The video appeared to show two officers in a struggle with a man wearing yellow, followed by a barrage of people taking turns punching and kicking a lieutenant and another officer.
“You want to know why our cops are getting assaulted? There’s no consequences and we must change this,” said NYPD Chief of Patrol John Chell.
The Manhattan DA’s Office said it needs more time to review surveillance video and talk to more witnesses to assess each suspect’s role in the attack.
