A mob linked to the Tren de Aragua gang attacked two NYPD officers in Times Square over the weekend.
According to an exclusive report from the New York Post, two officers were attacked while trying to stop a mob from robbing two teenagers.
As reported by The New York Post:
At least three of the brutes were rounded up by Sunday afternoon — including a 12-year-old reputed ring leader — with police identifying the mob as members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua’s baby-faced offshoot crew known as Diablos de la 42, or Devils of 42nd Street, the sources said.
At least three in the mob were already sought for a string of shocking robberies in Central Park — and were caught red-handed trying to pull off another heist when two cops intervened, they said.
“Is this what a sanctuary city is supposed to be?” one frustrated cop asked. “One of these kids was 11 years old when he was the ringleader of that Central Park robbery pattern.”
“What is it going to take for some of this policy to change when you have an 11, now 12-year-old, running around — or anybody — committing these crimes?” the source said. “When is common sense going to prevail? Don’t we have a moral obligation?”
According to police, all of the migrants were staying at Manhattan’s Row Hotel—courtesy of the sanctuary city’s taxpayer-funded programs.
