Vegas, who has no prior history of arrests, has become the 13th suspect detained over the cop beatdown that sent shockwaves through the city and sparks calls for migrant deportations.

More than six weeks after the sidewalk skirmish, police are still on the hunt for two more suspects, one of whom was last seen wearing a bright-red hoodie and the other a dark-colored puffer jacket.

Violence erupted when a police officer tried to detain a migrant who failed to move along on West 4nd Street.

Viral video showed a scrum of people viciously kicking and punching the officer and a lieutenant who was also at the scene.

More than a dozen suspects have seen been arrested and charged in connection with the mob assault, among them Yohenry Brito, 24, Yorman Reveron, 24, Ulises Bohorquez, 21, Wilson Juarez, 21, Kelvin Servat Arocha, 19, Darwin Andres Gomez-Izquiel, 19 and Yarwuin Madris, 17.
