"Guardian Angels Accused of Mistakenly Tackling Man as Migrant Shoplifter on Live TV"

Guardian Angels restrained a man they claimed was a migrant shoplifter during a live TV interview, but later admitted they had no proof of the claim. Police stated the man was allegedly trying to disrupt the broadcast and issued him a summons for disorderly conduct. The group's founder, Curtis Sliwa, initially stated the man was a migrant who had been shoplifting, but provided no evidence for the claim. The New York City Police Department did not comment on the migrant status or shoplifting allegations, and did not address whether the Guardian Angels had the authority to restrain the man.
