DA Alvin Bragg’s Assistant Robbed, Attacked by an Illegal Immigrant with 5 Arrests Since 2023

EXCERPT:

GLASSBERG (voice-over): "A smiling Brandon Simosa being led out of the Midtown South Precinct on West 35th Street this morning. Police say at about 2 A.M. Sunday, he robbed a 38-year-old woman in the hallway of her Hell’s Kitchen apartment building. He allegedly grabbed her purse, cell phone and bank cards, and also performed a lewd act. The victim is a Manhattan assistant DA. She was not injured. Police traced her stolen cell phone to a hotel on West 45th Street, which led them to believe the suspect is a migrant, and they were able to track him down. Simosa was arrested just last night. Police say he was using drugs on the street and had stolen items with him. Police believe he is part of Tren De Aragua. That’s the Venezuelan gang that has preyed on people in Times Square and Central Park."
