NYPD Migrant Scuffle: 2 More Arrested In Times Square Attack, Cops Say

NEW YORK CITY — Two more men have been arrested in a violent caught-on-video scuffle with NYPD cops outside a Times Square migrant shelter, police said.

Yohenry Brito, 24, and Jandry Barros, 21, on Wednesday became the sixth and seventh men to face accusations they were part of a throng seen in the viral video, authorities said.

The Jan. 27 assault unfolded outside a migrant shelter in Candler Tower, police said.

The video and subsequent release without bail of five men, who were said by officials to be asylum seekers, drew outrage.

Mayor Eric Adams said the city welcomes migrants who want to be part of the American Dream.

"But those who are breaking our laws, we need to reexamine the laws that don't allow us to deport them because they're doing violent acts," he said during an interview with PIX11.

"We cannot create an atmosphere where you're going to bring violence in our city. But the overwhelming number of migrants and asylum seekers are waiting to have work authorization or their determination, and we need to be clear on that."

Gov. Kathy Hochul appeared Wednesday to join a chorus of politicians who called for any migrants involved to be deported.

"I think that's actually something that should be looked at," she said, according to the New York Post.
