Times Square has been the location of several violent crimes in recent weeks involving migrants, including the mob beating of a pair of NYPD officers.
Several migrants have been charged in that incident in which they kicked and punched the officers after being told to move along 42nd Street last month. Many of them were initially released with no bail after their arrest, prompting scathing criticism of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.
