One of the immigrants allegedly involved in the gang assault on two police officers in Times Square has been rearrested, this time for participating in a coordinated robbery of a Macy’s store in Queens.
Darwin Andres Gomez Izquiel, 19, was arrested Tuesday night and charged with robbery and petty larceny, police said.
He is one of four people charged with “conspiring” to enter the Queen’s Center Mall at about 5:33pm on Tuesday and steal clothing that they tried to hide in bags.
When a 27-year-old security guard confronted the group, they “struggling” and one of the suspects punched the security guard in the face, police said.
As a result, the security guard sustained minor injuries but refused treatment at the scene.
Gomez Izquiel was previously charged with second-degree assault on a police officer and obstruction of public administration for the Times Square attack that was caught on camera in late January.
The video showed Gomez Izquiel, along with a group of other asylum seekers, kicking two people at New York’s Finest in the head and body, then running away.
