| [DM] Six of the migrants accused of assaulting two New York City Police Department officers in Times Square have been offered plea deals - including one who was re-arrested while out on $15,000 bail. Ulises Bohorquez, Yohenry Brito, Edgarlis Vegas, Darwin Andres Gomez-Izquiel, Wilson Juarez, Yorman Reveron and Kelvin Servita Arocha appeared in New York Supreme Criminal Court on Tuesday in front of Judge Laura Wood. The Venezuelan migrants were charged with second-degree assault and the obstruction of a government admin following the attack on January 27 which was caught on video and all have pleaded not guilty. The incident erupted when two officers attempted to disperse a group in front of 220 West 42nd Street. Lieutenant Ben Kurian and Officer Zunxu Tian are said to have suffered lacerations, bruising and substantial shoulder pain. Judge Wood laid into Brito, who was previously described as the 'most culpable' of the defendants, for being rearrested on petty larceny charges while on bail and warned he would 'not see the light of day' if he so much as jaywalks. Still, judge Wood did not order him arrested and he remains free. The Manhattan District Attorney's office has offered plea deals to Bohorquez, Brito and Gomez-Izquiel for them to serve a year in prison in return to pleading guilty to second-degree assault. Arocha and Juarez have been presented a deal where they serve six months in prison for pleading guilty to obstructing a government admin. Yorman Reveron was also offered a deal of two years in prison in exchange for pleading guilty to second degree assault. The defense attorneys have not agreed to the offers and Judge Wood ordered them to return to court on June 18 where a trial date will be set if no agreement is reached. He was initially sent to Rikers Island but he was released after a church in Brooklyn managed to pay his $15,000 bond. Authorities were called to disperse a 'disorderly group' in front of 220 West 42 Street when suspect Brito, 24, 'got confrontational with the officers' and they attempted to arrest him, according to NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny. 'As Kurian is holding Brito against the wall, groups of people are heard shouting in Spanish at the officer,' he added. 'That is when Brito attempted to escape from Kurian and with the assistance of Officer Zunxu Tian, the cops grabbed the migrant's clothing as they tried to restrain him.' Videos show the two officers and Brito falling to the ground and during the struggle, other suspects interfered by pulling, grabbing and kicking the cops. As Brito attempts to wriggle away, the officers are holding on to his shirt that he eventually takes off. 'Go arrest those guys,' Kurian said as the crowd fled. The case quickly drew international attention. It took days for police to indict the suspects in the case. Several were freed shortly after the attack on bail and some fled the area. Brito, Gomez, Reveron and Arocha are all charged with two counts of second-degree assault and one count of second-degree obstructing governmental administration. Gomez is also accused of attempting to shoplift at Macy's. Police say neither Juarez nor Arocha ever hit the officers, but that Arocha kicked a police radio as Juarez watched from a distance before giving his jacket to Brito. Gomez is accused of grabbing one officer and kicking the other one while Reveron allegedly grabbed, pulled and threw the two cops on the ground. Juarez, is believed to have watched the brawl from a distance without participating. He has been charged with tampering with physical evidence because he allegedly traded his jacket with a man who fled police following the confrontation, prosecutors said.
