Cops arrested the boy “for allegedly beating and robbing a stranger near Madison Avenue” only three days before he allegedly beat up the cop.
The boy was charged with second-degree assault, a felony. Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg’s office released him on his own recognizance. The prosecutors also recommended the case go to family court.In a statement, a spokesperson for the Manhattan District Attorney defended the release of the male teen after his earlier arrest, citing the teen’s age, which was 15 at the time, and lack of criminal history.
In April, the cops also arrested him “for possessing a .40 caliber handgun and a crossbow in Brooklyn.” However, a district attorney can recommend “to keep a case in criminal court if the crime involves significant physical injury, the display of a firearm, a sexual offense or ‘extraordinary circumstances.'”The release of the 16-year-old boy appalled New York City Mayor Eric Adams.
Adams suggested that Albany lawmakers should convene to rewrite the bail rules as they did last month to pass new legislation that prohibited where civilians can carry guns, in the wake of a Supreme Court ruling that struck down a state gun control law.
