Two migrants who bit and attacked two New York City Police officers are...wait for it...back on the street, according to the New York Post.
Manhattan prosecutors reportedly agreed to set them loose back on the streets without bail after both were arrested on Sunday for fighting with traffic cops on Eighth Avenue.
Police confronted suspects outside the Row NYC Hotel at 700 Eighth Ave. after allegedly spotting one of them recklessly riding a moped without ID.
One migrant allegedly bit an officer while another "hurled a moped" at another officer, the report says.
The Post report says that when they were brought into court on Monday morning, prosecutors let them walk without bail.
The DA's office said it “would be consenting to the defendant’s release on his own recognizance.”
One NYPD cop furiously told The Post: “What kind of message is this sending to the public? They are basically saying anyone in a blue uniform is a human piñata.”
Another officer called it "open war" on police, stating: “Today they bite and kick a cop and tomorrow they take a shot at cops. If there are no consequences they are only encouraging people to attack cops.”
Police Benevolent Association President Patrick Hendry responded: “We’ve seen dozens of significant assaults on police officers in Manhattan this year, and there’s a clear pattern in those cases — prosecutors and judges are only doing their job when they’re in the spotlight. We will keep turning out in court to show the entire justice system that their actions are getting cops hurt and putting all New Yorkers at risk.”
