Illegal Immigrant Accepts Plea Deal In Violent Times Square Police Assault

One of several illegal immigrants accused of participating in the violent assault of two New York City police officers in Times Square earlier this year accepted a plea deal in court Monday.

Under the terms of the agreement offered by the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office, Darwin Gomez-Izquiel, 19, will serve 364 days in jail.

The other illegal immigrants — Yohenry Brito, 24, and Ulises Bohorquez, 21 — were offered plea deals to serve a year in jail in exchange for pleading guilty to second-degree assault, the New York Post reports, citing the DA’s office.

Patrick Hendry, president of the New York Police Benevolent Association, said the suspects should receive longer sentences but was glad that Gomez-Izquiel pleaded guilty to a felony, Fox News reports.

“However, the important test will come once his sentence is up,” he said in a statement. “He needs to be deported immediately upon release, without setting another foot on our city streets.”

Hendry noted that several other defendants had a more significant role in the gang assault on officers, and their cases are still pending.

The case stems from the January attack on an NYPD officer and lieutenant who were telling several illegal immigrants to move along a street in Times Square. Surveillance footage shows the assailants attacking the cops, punching and kicking them on the ground.

Many were charged with assault and released without bail. One of the suspects, Yorman Reveron, 24, had two pending cases for assault and robbery.
