Video caught eight illegal Venezuelan immigrants wailing on and beating up Lt. Ben Kurian and Police Officer Tian Zunxu near Times Square.
The “asylum-seekers” came to New York City a year ago.
The NYPD arrested four on the spot: Darwin Andres Gomez-Izquiel, 19, Kelvin Servita Arocha, 19, Wilson Juarez, 21, and Yorman Reveron, 24. They were “arraigned on a count each of second-degree assault on a police officer and obstructing governmental administration.”
A judge released them without bail! Do you know why? The Manhattan DA’s Office, headed by Alvin Bragg, whom George Soros backs, did not request bail, even for Reveron.
Reveron has two open cases for assault and robbery in Manhattan. More on that below.
Unbelievable.
A fifth suspect, Jhoan Boada, 22, was also released without bail.
The NYPD is seeking three more suspects:
“Reprehensible,” a disgusted NYPD Chief of Patrol John Chell told reporters.“You have eight people attacking a lieutenant and a cop. The four that were arrested should be sitting in Rikers [Island] right now on bail,” the chief said.“You want to know why our cops are getting assaulted? There are no consequences,” he continued. “Eight people attacked two cops. Cowards.”—“The video speaks for itself,” Chell said Wednesday. “I’m proud of what they tried to do. They stayed in the fight, but eight on two is hard.”The suspects should face “consequences for your actions,” he added. “They should be sitting in Rikers, they should be indicted this week and have their day in court and go to jail.“You want to stop the assault on our cops? This is where it begins.”
The attack occurred on Saturday around 8:30 PM ET when Kurian tried to arrest one of the suspects, who remains on the loose. The others jumped him, pounding him to the ground. They gave him a “bloody and bruised lip and nose.”
Thankfully, Kurian and Zunxu did not suffer severe injuries. Paramedics treated them at the scene.
Bragg’s office made it worse for them with their statement: “Every defendant charged so far is facing felony charges that carry a penalty of up to seven years. This is an active, ongoing investigation.”
Thanks for admitting you did not request bail for suspects charged with felonies.
Reveron has a case open in November and December. Wow…three months in a row for this guy:
In November, he allegedly “pushed, punched and bit” a Nordstrom Rack employee who caught him trying to steal a $130 item from the Union Square store’s display rack, according to law enforcement sources.Last month, he also allegedly “punched with a closed fist” a loss prevention officer at the Herald Square Macy’s after trying to pull off a robbery with two other suspects, the sources said.
