"Migrant Accused in Times Square Police Beatdown Arrested for Shoplifting and Robbery"

A Brooklyn church posted $15,000 bail to free Yohenry Brito, a Venezuelan migrant accused in the assault on two NYPD officers in Times Square. The church's pastor cited the politically charged context surrounding the case and the presumption of innocence. Meanwhile, another suspect in the attack, Yarwuin Madris, was also charged and jailed, while two others were found in the custody of federal immigration authorities. The Manhattan DA's Office is still reviewing footage of the beating to determine each suspect's level of involvement.

"NY Officials Push for Border and Crime Reforms Following Times Square Police Assault"

Former New York Governor David Paterson criticized the release of migrants who assaulted police officers in Times Square, calling for reforms in US border and crime policies. He urged the public to demand more accountability from the government and expressed concern over lenient policies led by the Biden administration and Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. Paterson highlighted the need for changes in bail laws and emphasized the importance of holding non-citizens accountable for their actions. Seven migrants were charged in the assault, with six believed to have fled to California, raising questions about the handling of the case and the need for stricter measures.
