Woman arrested for migrant attack on NYPD, 2 suspects still at large
A woman has been arrested for her role in the shocking migrant mob beatdown of two NYPD police officers in Times Square in late January.
Police say Edgarlis Vegas, 20, was nabbed in Midtown Manhattan just after 8:30 a.m. on Monday and charged with assault on a police officer for the violent Jan. 27 attack, which sparked widespread condemnation and highlighted a wave of migrant crime gripping the Big Apple.
Vegas, with an address on Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn, is one of more than a dozen people arrested in relation to the case, where a mob of migrants attacked an NYPD officer and lieutenant in front of a shelter on West 42nd Street in Manhattan.
The NYPD had asked the migrants to move, but a scuffle ensued as the officers were seen trying to subdue a person in a yellow jacket onto the ground.

2 MIGRANTS WHO STOMPED AND KICKED NYPD OFFICERS IN VICIOUS TIMES SQUARE ATTACK YET TO BE ARRESTED
Police did not say what Vegas’ exact role in the attack was, nor could they provide her nationality. The New York Post reports Vegas is from Venezuela. She has no prior arrests, police say.
Her immigration status is also unclear as the NYPD is prohibited by law from providing such information.

NEW YORK’S ‘CATCH AND RELEASE’ POLICIES FAIL TO HOLD CRIMINALS ACCOUNTABLE: POLICE REP
A viral video of the attack drew public outrage and led to calls for migrant deportations.
In the days following the attack, several migrants were arrested and then released without bail and in one instance, one of the suspects gave two middle fingers to waiting news reporters. Some of the suspects had already been arrested for crimes in New York City and subsequently cut loose before the attack.
Police say they are still looking for two suspects in the attack.

In photos released by police, one migrant is pictured wearing a red hoody, black pants, black sneakers and a white baseball cap. Police say the migrant stomped on a lieutenant’s head as the police officer tried to apprehend a suspect on the ground. The migrant then kicks the other officer in the back before returning and taking a kick at the lieutenant.
Photos of the second migrant show him wearing a dark-colored puffer coat, blue jeans, sneakers and a red baseball cap.
He can be seen taking a big swinging kick at the lieutenant’s head. The migrant falls to the ground as he tries to execute the kick.

A Holbrook, Massachusetts man who fell critically ill while sailing through the South Pacific has died, his family told WBZ-TV Tuesday evening.
Scott Winslow was in intensive care at a hospital in Fiji for weeks, as his family fought to get him back home so he could be treated for septic shock and a serious infection.
Winslow’s wife and two daughters had made the 8,000-mile trip to be with him and fight for his care when he died.
“We are at the hospital and just said goodbye to our father,” his daughters told WBZ-TV. “We are heartbroken.”
Winslow was traveling on his nephew’s sailboat in the South Pacific on what was supposed to be a three-month voyage when he noticed what appeared to be a bug bite.
His family isn’t sure exactly what the cause of the illness was, but his condition quickly deteriorated, and he could no longer walk once they diverted the boat to Fiji.
The family provided WBZ medical documents from doctors in Fiji, who said he needed to be evacuated to another hospital.
The family said his insurance company, Aetna, denied the transport and the medical flight to get Winslow home would have cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Winslow’s family said they had secured medical services with the Mass General Brigham group if he got back to Massachusetts.
“I don’t understand. My problem is, my parents pay for insurance, this is what insurance is for,” Lisa Babbin, Scott’s daughter told WBZ-TV earlier on Tuesday.
Before Winslow died, WBZ-TV reached out to Aetna. In a statement, a spokesperson said they were continuing to work with Winslow’s family “and his providers in Fiji to identify the best way to get him back safely to the United States for continued treatment.”
The Winslow family had also reached out the U.S. Embassy in Fiji for help securing an emergency loan.
