Seven people charged in attack on two New York police officers in Times Square. Five of the defendants, who had previously been arrested, face felony charges, according to authorities.
New York Mayor Eric Adams says he does not care whether the defendants are immigrants or asylum seekers. The attack was caught on video and occurred on January 27, when police were trying to disperse a crowd when a fight broke out. The attacked officers suffered minor injuries, authorities indicated. and the names of two defendants were not released because they have not been arrested.
