Yohenry Brito, one of the suspects in a brutal attack on a pair of NYPD officers in January, has been indicted by a grand jury.
One of the suspects in a brutal attack on two NYPD officers was indicted by a grand jury on Tuesday, while several of the migrants that were arrested in last week's attack and released without bail were reportedly caught Monday in Phoenix, Arizona.
Currently, Yohenry Brito is the only suspect to have been arrested and held on bail in connection to the assault and was in court in connection to two prior misdemeanor charges. He is also the only suspect to have been indicted so far. Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg presented evidence to the grand jury that could lead to new charges for any number of the dozen other migrants authorities say took part in the January 27 attack in Times Square. Meanwhile, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, along with the Department of Homeland Security, arrested the migrants said to have fled New York City at a Greyhound bus station in Arizona, according to Fox News. The migrants are believed to have fled the Big Apple after they were arrested and released without bail following the Jan. 27 assault on two police officers in Times Square.Fox News obtained a photograph from an ICE source showing three people sitting on the ground. It’s not clear which migrants or how many were taken into custody. ICE is expected to release more details later Tuesday.Authorities believe four migrants left New York by bus for California. It’s not clear if some or all of them were the ones taken into custody in Phoenix.According to police, as many as 14 people could've been involved in the attack.Surveillance video showed five men and two police officers calmly interacting on camera. It appeared to be an ordinary exchange until the pair of officers attempted to take down one of the men in yellow. According to police, that's when the encounter turned violent, starting with a kick to an officer's head.Police said it only escalated from that point on where, moments later, the men swarmed around the officers already on the ground, striking them both multiple times.The officers suffered minor injuries and were treated at the scene.There are also arraignments pending for two suspects in the Bronx and two in Manhattan who police say are part of a coordination group of thieves on mopeds who swipe victims' cellphones, later hacking them for bank information. On Long Island, another man who is allegedly a migrant was arrested after he was accused of stealing a resident's pro-Israel flag off their front porch.When the victim took off after the man, the suspect attacked."Crimes committed because of our religion, our skin, who we love, will be prosecuted vigorously and thoroughly by our office," said Nassau County District Attorney Anne Donnelly after the incident.
