D.A. Bragg Announces Indictment In Attacks On Two Young Children On The High Line
“As alleged, Ramny Lopez assaulted two innocent children in an unprovoked, broad-daylight attack. One of these children was just two years old and sitting in a stroller as her family explored New York City while on vacation,” said District Attorney Bragg. “Parents shouldn’t have to fear for the safety of their children when walking through Manhattan.

“We allege that, with the help of insiders at cellphone stores, this ring stole hundreds of thousands from Manhattanites by accessing their accounts through SIM-swapping,” said District Attorney Bragg. “Again and again, we see New Yorkers’ funds drained after their phones are taken over through similar schemes.

If you receive a notice that a new SIM card or device is being activated on your phone line without your request, immediately contact your provider at a number you know to be the company’s official phone number.”

My Office will continue to hold accountable anyone who uses guns to harm New Yorkers – nobody should have to experience the pain experienced by Mr. Pleasant’s loved ones.”

We will not tolerate abuse of government funds, and I thank our law enforcement partners for their work on this investigation, particularly the New York State Inspector General’s Office.”
