A pair of migrant thugs who attacked two of New York’s Finest are back on the street after Manhattan prosecutors agreed to cut them loose without bail, The Post has learned. Brian Joseph, 24, and Jose Gonzalez, 19, were both arrested Sunday after scuffling with cops on traffic patrol on Eighth Avenue shortly after 9:50 p.m. — allegedly biting one officer and hurling a moped at the other, according to law enforcement sources and officials. But when they were hauled into court on Monday, Manhattan prosecutors agreed to let them walk.
Police said a cop was bitten and another had a moped hurled at him when they tried to bust two rowdy migrants outside an Eighth Avenue hotel Sunday. The migrants were later cut loose without bail.
Court transcripts of the proceedings show that in both cases prosecutors told the judge that the district attorney’s office “would be consenting to the defendant’s release on his own recognizance.”A spokesperson for Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
“What kind of message is this sending to the public?” one ticked-off Manhattan cop told The Post. “They are basically saying anyone in a blue uniform is a human piñata.”Another police officer called it “allowing open war on cops.”
