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.

One of the suspects is described as being approximately 5-foot-8 tall with a tan complexion and a thin build. He was last seen wearing a multicolored baseball cap, blue jacket, gray jeans and black sneakers with a black bag.
