"Manhattan DA Indicts 7 in Times Square Attack on NYPD Officers: The Facts Checked"

A viral video showing an attack on two NYPD officers outside a migrant shelter in Times Square has sparked debates about crime and immigration in New York City. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's office has charged six people, including 24-year-old Yohenry Brito, and announced an indictment against him. The incident has led to discussions about the involvement of migrants in crime, with some officials and law enforcement members claiming that migrants have brought crime to the city. However, studies have shown that immigrants commit crimes at lower rates than native-born citizens. The decision to release most of the accused individuals without bail has raised questions, with some criticizing the judge's choice not to set bail despite the severity of the crime.
