Earlier this year, a migrant accused of assaulting two New York City police officers in Times Square was released, and now has been arrested again for serial theft, according to media reports.

On Tuesday, a 24-year-old man from Venezuela named Yohenry Brito was arrested for stealing from two Sephora makeup stores in Manhattan, according to law enforcement sources.

In July, Brito is accused of cutting through security wires on display cases to steal fragrances. On Aug. 6, he stole $1,358 worth of merchandise from store shelves and fled with an accomplice, according to police sources.

The accomplice was not caught.

From the start, it was clear that the individuals who attacked our Times Square Unit officers had no regard for the law and were not trustworthy. As a result, we are pleased that he is once again in custody, preventing further chaos on the streets. Patrick Hendry, president of the NYC Police Benevolent Association, made this statement to the newspaper.

Brito had been arrested and released for multiple thefts, including those that took place before and after the Times Square police gang assault.

On Jan. 27, seven migrants were caught on camera kicking and punching two police officers. The officers had instructed the migrants to leave the street prior to the violence.

Five migrants, including Yorman Reveron, Jhoan Boada, Wilson Juarez, Darwin Andres Gomez-Izquiel, and Kelvin Servita Arocha, were charged with assaulting a police officer and obstructing a government investigation. Despite the charges, they were released without bail.

After prosecutors determined that Boada was not one of the men seen in the video, he was later exonerated.

Initially, Brito was released with other asylum seekers, but he was later taken back into custody following a public outcry and ordered to be held on a $15,000 cash or $50,000 bond. At the time, he had two pending misdemeanor theft cases.

In February, Rev. Juan Ruiz, a minister at the Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Brooklyn, paid a $15,000 bond to release him back onto the street.

""Our church serves as a sanctuary, assuming people's innocence until proven guilty," Ruiz stated to The Post."

Following his release, Brito was apprehended for suspected theft of children's clothing and fragrances from Macy's.

"Judge Laura Ward stated in Manhattan Criminal Court that she was tempted to put Brito in jail and warned him that if he was rearrested for any reason before the case ended, she would issue a warrant and set bail so high that he would not be able to get out."

"If you jaywalk, jump a turnstile, or do anything else that requires me to issue a warrant, you will not be released from jail until the case is resolved," she stated.

The Times Square police assault has resulted in Brito being held on a $50,000 cash bond.
