I blame the state with a 1 STAR RATING and Abbott on this - he could of easily sent these folks back and had the resources to - why didn't he?

VIDEO: Migrants pummel NYPD cops outside Times Square shelter

A group of migrants pummeled NYPD officers attempting to make an arrest outside a shelter in Times Square, police and sources said Tuesday.

Two officers and a lieutenant from the NYPD’s Midtown South Precinct approached the group of men outside a migrant shelter on W. 42nd St. near Seventh Ave. at around 8:30 p. m. Saturday, cops said.

The incident seemed likely to raise the temperature of the already heated debate surrounding the migrant crisis, in which more than 100,000 migrants came to the city last year.

Four of the suspects were released without bail following arraignment in Manhattan Criminal Court.

The officers had been trying to break up the disorderly crowd outside the Candler Building, where the city announced the opening of a mega-shelter in March. When the cops attempted to put one of the men under arrest, multiple people attacked, according to authorities.

The men kicked and punched the officers in the head and body, video released by police shows.

“They were kicking and punching one of the cops,” a security guard in the area told the Daily News on Tuesday. “They mobbed [the cops]. It was wild.”

The lieutenant suffered a cut to his face during the melee. He was treated on the scene along with his colleagues, according to cops.
