NYPD Arrests Eighth Suspect in Times Square Attack on Police Officers
NEW YORK (New York Daily News/TNS) — An eighth suspect has been busted for the Times Square attack on an NYPD officer and lieutenant outside a migrant shelter, police said Tuesday.
The suspect, seen on video wearing a red, white and blue Fila jacket, was arrested in the Bronx Tuesday morning, police said.
Charges against him were pending.
The Jan. 27 attack was caught on video and has intensified the debate about migrants in the city and the country.
Seven suspects have been indicted and numerous others are being sought, including four who were arrested the night of the attack and, after being released without bail, hopped a bus to California, sparking criticism of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg,
Bragg has pushed back on the criticism, noting the difficulty of prosecuting a case in which some of the suspects changed their clothes after the assault, making it more difficult to determine from video who did what.
