The NYPD arrested another suspect in connection with the January assault of two police officers outside a migrant shelter near Times Square , as the search for two other suspects continues. According to police, Edgarlis Vegas, 20, of Brooklyn, was arrested on Monday morning and charged with assault on a police officer. Police would not confirm her immigration status. It comes as the NYPD released images of the two other suspects wanted in connection with the assault.
The assault on the officers drew national attention. Congressman Anthony D'Esposito and Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis, both Republican members of New York's delegation, invited the officers and their wives to last week's State of the Union address. Last month, five men charged in the attack faced a judge. Wilson Juarez, Kelvin Servita Arocha, Yohenry Brito, Yorman Reveron and Darwin Andres Gomez-Izquiel all appeared in court and were arraigned on the indictment. All five remain in law enforcement custody, authorities said. Gomez-Izquiel, 19, is also accused of shoplifting at a Macy's inside Queens Center Mall
