Man charged with attacking police in Times Square, vilified in Trump ad, was misidentified, DA says
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg cleared a Venezuelan man, initially accused of assaulting a police officer in Times Square, of any wrongdoing after further investigation.
Jhoan Boada, highlighted in a pro-Trump political ad for allegedly kicking an officer, was not involved in the attack. The actual perpetrator has been charged and awaits arraignment.
Boada, represented by attorney Javier Damien, faced unfair judgment by media, police, and officials. Despite earlier vilification, he was ultimately exonerated.
