NYPD looking for two more migrants in vicious, caught-on-camera Times Square cop-beating
Two more migrants are being hunted for the vicious, caught-on-camera beating of two police officers in Times Square, the NYPD said.
Surveillance images released late Wednesday showed close-ups of two of the ✱mob caught at the scene and wanted on ass🌺ault charges.

The other — sporting a black puffer jacket, blue jeans and a red baseball hat — was seen kicking an officer and then falling on the ground during the attack.
As many as 14 migrants were believed to have been inꦰvolved in the brutal beatdown in🧔 Times Square on Jan. 27.
So far, six men have been charged in the caught-on-video beating — and all but one have been released from jail without bail.
Yohenry Brito, 24, who was identified by his distinctive neck tattoo, was i🐎ndicted Tuesday in connection with the incident, but the charges against him remained under seal.
He also🍸 faces unrelated misdemeanors 🔯stemming from shoplifting.
A judge set his bail at $15,000 cash or $50,000 bo🥃nd last week.
The other suspects — Darwin Andres Gomez, 19, Kelvin Servita Arocha, 19, Wilson Juarez, 21, Yorman Reveron, 24, and Jhoan Boada, 22 — were set free following their arraignments.
The first four men face♓ charges of assault on a police officer, gan👍g assault, obstructing governmental administration and disorderly conduct.
Boada, who is ho𒉰meless, has been charged with attempted assault on a police officer and gang assault.
The melee broke out around 8:30 p.m. Jan. 27 on West 42꧋nd Street in Midtown Manhattan, where an NYPD officer and a lieutenant tried to disperse a group of migrants.
One of the ဣmigrants got into a fight with the cops, before more than a dozen other men attacked the outnumbered officers, kicking and pummeling them, as seen in the video.
The cops suffered minor injuries and were treated at the scen♋e.
The decision to cut loose the suspected cop attacke🐭rs without bail has set off a firestorm of criticism.
“It was a serious felony and bail should have been set,” New York state Attorney General Letitia James saiꦏd.
But Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has defended not setting a monetary bail, saying his office was still reviewing𓆏 the footage🍃 from the attack to determine the level of involvement of each participant.
“Hol🐟d the right people accountable f♕or the right conduct. This is a bedrock principle of our justice system,” Bragg said.
Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul told re🏅porters last week that ꦑthe migrants who jumped the cops should be deported.
“Get them all and send theဣm back,” Hochul said. “You don’t to🍸uch our police officers. You don’t touch anyone.”
