TIMES SQUARE – Police have arrested five migrants in connection to the beating of two NYPD officers last week in Manhattan.
Surveillance footage released on Wednesday shows the group of five males assaulting a police officer and a lieutenant around 8:30 p.m. on Jan. 27 at 220 West 42nd Street in front of the Chandlier Building while they were conducting an arrest.
The officers were attempting to break up a “disorderly group” that was loitering when things went left.
One officer began wrestling with a male, trying to place him in cuffs when the rest of the group began kicking and punching the officers outside of the shelter housing migrants who have taken over the city.
Four men were arrested, with one another arrest made the following day.
They have been identified as Yorman Reveron, 24, Darwin Andres Gomez-Izquiel, 19, Wilson Juarez, 21, Kelvin Arocha, 19 and Jhoan Boada, 22.
They’re facing charges of assaulting a police officer, gang assault, and obstructing governmental administration.
Four out of the five suspects were released.
