"Although our aviation unit was grounded due to low visibility, our drones were able to respond and provided invaluable assistance during the apprehension of the suspects," NYPD Commissioner Kaz Daughtry posted on X Saturday.During the invasion, one victim was punched in the face and the other was hit with a hammer. "This response exemplifies the professionalism and commitment our officers demonstrate daily to keeping New Yorkers safe," Daughtry said.
