Migrant teen accused in Times Square attack on cops is arrested again

One of the migrants allegedly involved in a mob assault on a pair of cops in Times Square has been arrested again — this time for participating in a coordinated robbery of a Macy’s store in Queens.

Darwin Andres Gomez-Izquiel, 19, was arrested on Tuesday night and was charged with robbery and petit larceny, police announced.

He is one of four people charged for allegedly entering the Queens Center Mall at around 5:33 p.m. on Tuesday and “acting in concert” stealing clothes they tried to hide in bags.

When a 27-year-old security guard confronted the group, they “struggled,” police said, and one of the suspects punched him in the face.

The security guard suffered minor injuries as a result, but refused medical attention on the scene.

Gomez-Izquiel was previously charged with second-degree assault on a police officer and obstructing governmental administration for the caught-on-camera Times Square attack at the end of January.

Video showed Gomez-Izquiel with a gang of other asylum-seekers kicking the pair of New York’s Finest in the head and body before running away.

The others accused in Tuesday’s alleged robbery were last seen fleeing westbound on Queens Boulevard with about $608 worth of assorted clothing.
