Seven suspects, including migrants staying at city shelters, were arrested in connection with an attack on NYPD officers near a migrant shelter in Times Square. Five suspects have been arraigned and face charges of second degree assault and obstructing governmental administration, while two more were arrested Wednesday night.

Police are still searching for five additional suspects, and the Manhattan DA's office stated that the suspects released without bail could face up to seven years in prison for the felony assault charge.
