"Migrant Assault on NYPD Officers: Grand Jury Review and Taxpayer-Funded Escape"

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin L. Bragg will convene a grand jury to hear evidence against a group of men caught on video assaulting police officers in Times Square last month. Criticized for not seeking bail for most of the initially arrested men, Bragg expressed concerns over the correct identification of all perpetrators. A law enforcement official revealed that the men were migrants who had been in the country for less than a year, with four having fled the city since their arraignments. Bragg defended the decision not to seek bail, citing the evidence available at the time, and stated that some of the most culpable individuals have not yet been identified or arrested.
