REPORTS MIGRANTS FLED NYC AFTER TIMES SQUARE BRAWL WITH NYPD APPEAR FALSE

Video surveillance footage from the Times Square melee between a group of
migrants and NYPD officers.

Widespread reports that several migrants fled to California after facing charges
for a Times Square brawl with NYPD officers appeared to be false Wednesday, with
all seven men indicted in the case confirmed to be in New York.

Police on Tuesday and Wednesday arrested two of the migrants indicted alongside
five others last week. Both men, whose names were filed under seal as
authorities searched for them, are awaiting arraignment on felony charges in
Manhattan Supreme Court.

The man taken into custody Tuesday was discovered at a Bronx residence with two
of those initially charged, Wilson Juarez and Kelvin Servita Arocha, said a
spokesman for the Manhattan district attorney “contrary to widespread
misinformation they had fled New York City on a bus.”



DA Alvin Bragg’s office confirmed Juarez and Arocha are now in ICE custody and
are expected to appear in court on Friday with all those accused for their
Supreme Court arraignments.

Another of the initial four suspects arrested in the Jan. 27 and released under
supervision, Darwin Gomez-Izquiel, was apprehended late Tuesday, accused of an
unrelated robbery and punching a store guard. His lawyer Mark Macron previously
told the Daily News he was physically with him in the lower Manhattan
courthouses when media reports claimed he’d fled the state.

According to jail records, the sole suspect detained days after the incident,
Johenry Brito, posted bail late Tuesday and is expected to return to court
Friday alongside everyone else. The seventh suspect, Yorman Reveron, is
complying with the terms of his supervised release and is expected to appear in
court at the end of the week, according to his lawyers at the Legal Aid Society.

All seven men, who were mostly living in city-run shelters at the time of the
incident, have been hit with charges ranging in severity from tampering with
physical evidence and hindering prosecution to second-degree assault for the
caught-on-video fight.



 



 

At a press conference last week with Mayor Adams and NYPD officials, Bragg
underscored the importance of correctly identifying the suspects and debunked
news reports about some fleeing to other states. The DA said federal authorities
told his office there was no truth to claims they had arrested some of the
suspects on the West Coast.

Attorneys for all charged, barring the two whose names are not yet public, did
not immediately respond to requests for comment.
