An off-duty NYPD detective was stabbed 10 times by a pair of illegal immigrants despite repeatedly identifying himself as a cop – then chased the thugs for two blocks while barefoot despite his injuries, Bronx prosecutors said Wednesday.

The revelation came as the two accused attackers – D’Angelo Caraballo and Sneinder Mejia – were arraigned on attempted murder charges in the Oct. 2 assault on hero cop Jose Mercedes and ordered held without bail in Bronx court.

“When defendant Mejia was stabbing him numerous times, [Mercedes] attempted to place him under arrest,” Bronx Assistant District Attorney Paul Irace said in court. “He used his training to stop this from happening.”

He said the hero cop “identified himself several times, over six times, as a police officer.”

Irace said Mercedes chased the moped-riding duo until he felt weakened by massive blood loss.

“As we sit here today, more than two weeks later, he still does not have usage of his left hand and is recovering from that surgery,” Irace told Judge Alvin Yearwood.

A half-dozen NYPD detectives packed the courtroom.

Mercedes was unloading items from his car when the two pulled up on a two-wheeler and demanded his chain, sparking a scuffle with the 10-year veteran cop.

“I almost died,” Mercedes said at a press conference earlier this week. “I told them in English, I told them in Spanish that I was a police officer. They didn’t care.”

Caraballo and Sneinder fled the scene, but cops later caught up with them in Massachusetts. Both are natives of the Dominican Republic who were in the US illegally, authorities said.

And the demon-rats are importing them by the boat load, supporting them and turning them loose when they commit atrocities like this.
Keep voting Democrats it can get worse.

If only we understood their unique culture better, this might not have happened.

Whatever you do, be sure to not lock them up.

It’s possible other illegals might riot or hurt someone else.
