New York City prosecutor Alvin Bragg defended his office's decision to go easy on a 16-year-old caught on video viciously assaulting a cop who confronted him for not paying the subway fare – the teen's third felony arrest in less than four months.
The teen, whose name is being withheld due to his age, was charged with second-degree assault Saturday after he was captured on a 54-second clip throwing more than 20 punches at an NYPD officer, slamming him into a metal gate and putting him in a chokehold at a subway station in Harlem.
At his arraignment in Manhattan Criminal Court, prosecutors recommended the teen's release without bail and diversion to family court – where he'll be tried as a child and face rehabilitation rather than prison.
Once a case is moved to family court, it is handled by a separate city department, and the Manhattan DA no longer has any jurisdiction over the matter.
Just three days earlier, the same troubled teen was arrested and released without bail for allegedly beating and robbing a stranger near Madison Avenue on June 21 when he was 15 – a case that Bragg's office is prosecuting.

Better yet! Let the teen beat the crap out of the “prosecutor.”
The Mayor (Dinkins Light) Adams needs to pull all the police assigned to the DA’s office and place them on patrol far from the DA’s office. It will only be a matter of time before one of Bragg’s Brats bangs him around.
NYC had better wake up and impeach this prosecutor.
Great response, and on point.
See what happens when you let democrats go hog wild and take all the power in a city or state? Nothing ever good, that’s for sure.
Somebody needs to sicc this same 16 y/o thug onto Atty Gen. Bragg, as the boy tries to rob Bragg of his gold rolex.
He would be singing a different tune after all the swelling went down.
If someone did this exact same thing to one of the prosecutors in that office, you'd get a replay of Linda Blair in The Exorcist filing every charge known to man against the perp.
A cop? Not so much.
Here’s what you do, BLUE FLU, until the entire DA’s office is fired.
Hmmm, let me guess:
This will give him the opportunity to hone his criminal skills so he can do something worse, maybe even kill someone. I’ll bet we haven’t seen the last of him.
“...the same troubled teen”
... Atty Gen. Bragg...
Who?
.
They hide the name, they are passing laws to hide the mugshots…
So the Hollywood idea of a Criminal can further take hold.
Just like the kids are fooled, they need to keep it going.
Fairy Tales sold daily.

No jail for the criminal — castration.
Watters said that Eric Adams must tell Kathy Hochul to fire Alvin Bragg or he will endorse Lee Zeldin for Governor of New York.
I doubt that Adams has it in him to do this, as he's never even mentioned Bragg by name in any public statements that I've seen.

Sometimes the felons they let go picks out an elderly woman, a little boy or an average pedestrian and brutally attacks and kills them.
Then the people say “Where are the cops when we need them? How come the judge let this loser get out of jail? We need law enforcement around here.”
Wow. These guys just don’t get it. We are seeing history repeat itself, in this case the summer of 1968. And Trump has always started the law and order campaign a la Nixon.
Beginning of the end for team Soros prosecutors.
