The two thugs accused in the cowardly slashing of an off-duty NYPD detective are both illegal migrants from the Dominican Republic who snuck in under former President Joe Biden, according to sources and reports.
Police Detective Jose Mercedes was grabbing items out of the trunk of his car at Rochambeau Avenue and East 208th Street in Norwood in The Bronx around 1:45 p.m. Friday when the brazen pair pulled up on an e-bike.
The criminals tried to snatch the cop’s gold chain, but Mercedes tried to fight back and was slashed seven times by the violent muggers, who sped off and left the detective bleeding on the sidewalk, police said.
Mercedes, who is assigned to the 44th Precinct in The Bronx, was rushed to Jacobi Medical Center and was listed in stable condition after the broad-daylight attack, the department said.
Police identified the suspects Tuesday in the midst of a massive manhunt for them.
The suspects were caught on surveillance video near the scene of the crime, with the driver speeding down the sidewalk and his passenger and suspected stabber sitting shirtless behind him.
The accused slasher was identified as 25-year-old D’Angelo Caraballo, while the suspect behind the wheel of the bike was ID’d as Sneider Mejia, 24.
Mejia crossed the US border with Mexico in Arizona on Dec. 2, 2022, and was nabbed by border patrol agents but released into the country, Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin reported.
Mejia was arrested in the Bronx on a gun possession charge last year but was released despite an ICE detainer to hold him, Melugin added.

Of course they did, and prepare for 100 MILLION more just like them if commies take back power
New York carefully protects the full rights and privileges of illegal immigrants.
Here is a statement:
One line: “Remember, the New York Police Department (NYPD) is prohibited by law from asking a person’s immigration status.”
And the authorities make sure the police don’t keep the illegals in those uncomfortable places the jails. /S
They really just need to leave these fine immigrants free to slash others, because Americans don’t do that, enough, apparently.
Go Biden!
Who is that demonicRAT who declared himself to be an accomplice of illegal aliens? They should arrest him, too.
“who snuck in under former President Joe Biden”
Why would an illegal alien have to “sneak” in under Biden.
You’re right. They probably mean when the Border Czar announced the entry surge by undocumented types had been solved and it’s over. Some believed it.
