4 members of 'Green Goblin' subway attack crew ID'd by NYPD
2022-10-08
[NYPOST] Four members of the "Green Goblin" gang who brutally attacked two 19-year-old women on a Manhattan train have 15 arrests between them, authorities said Friday as they identified the suspects.

Emily Soto, 34, and Mairam Cisse Issouf, Ciante Alston and Dariana Peguero — all 26 — were among the group of suspects who wore full-body neon green leotards while punching and tossing around two 19-year-old women on a Times Square subway train around 2 a.m. Sunday, NYPD Chief of Detectives James Essig told news hounds.

All four identified suspects live in NYCHA’s Queensboro Houses, according to Essig.

Peguero has the most extensive criminal history with nine prior arrests, followed by Alston, who has been cuffed three times, Soto, arrested twice, and Issouf, who has been busted once before, the chief said.

The caught-on-video attack "originally stemmed from an apparent bump on the platform and spilled into the subway car," Essig said.

The victims were robbed of a cellphone and handbag, cops said.

The bizarrely dressed crew fled after the assault. The other suspects have not yet been identified.

The mother of one of the victims told The Post on Monday that her daughter "said she was attacked by aliens, and I didn’t know what she was talking about.

"Yesterday was her birthday," said the distraught mom, who asked that she and the victims remain anonymous out of fear of retaliation. "This is how she spent her 19th birthday. I hope they get what they deserve and then some because it’s disgusting."

#7  Good thing they're not pro-life activists or they'd be wearing orange instead.

#4  The smug, self-righteous, smarter-than-you-and-me voters of NYC. Getting what they voted for. Good and hard...

#2  "Emily Soto, 34, and Mairam Cisse Issouf, Ciante Alston and Dariana Peguero"

All in the Martha's Vineyard phonebook, I believe.

#1  Instead of arresting someone for the ninth time isn't it better to abduct them and leave them in pieces all over forest park?
