‘Little Devils of 42nd Street’ subset of Tren de Aragua linked to NYPD ambush in Times Square

  • NYPD officers were ambushed in Times Square on Friday evening while trying to break up a robbery by teenage gang members near 42nd Street and 8th Avenue.
  • The attackers are members of Los Diablos de 42, a youth faction affiliated with the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua, which is known for its involvement in organized street crime throughout the United States.
  • Police arrested five repeat offenders connected to the ambush, including a 16-year-old facing felony charges, and seek six more suspects linked to this violent group.
  • Commissioner Jessica Tisch emphasized that the gang's activities represent coordinated criminal operations rather than minor offenses, noting their use of weapons such as scooters and basketballs to attack officers.
  • The incident underscores challenges in public safety, prompting authorities to emphasize use of the gang database despite calls to abolish it, as these groups threaten city security.
