An illegal immigrant from Ecuador is currently in NYPD custody following a disturbing incident in which he allegedly carried out a sex attack in broad daylight at a popular park in Queens. The suspect, armed with a machete, reportedly approached two 13-year-olds - a boy and a girl - tied them together by the wrists, and sexually assaulted the girl, as per police sources.
An NYPD spokesperson has confirmed that a person of interest is in custody but has refrained from disclosing further details. However, law enforcement sources have revealed that an Ecuadorian man was arrested on Monday evening in connection with the crime. The individual had entered the country illegally in 2021.
