A 30-year-old transgender migrant from Colombia allegedly committed a horrific crime against a child in the heart of Manhattan, according to law enforcement sources.
Nicol Suarez, an illegal alien who had previously drawn the notice of federal immigration agents, allegedly followed a minor victim into the park’s bathroom, where the assault occurred. The brave 14-year-old escaped and sought assistance from nearby witnesses, who promptly alerted the authorities.
The event has prompted worries about public safety and the supervision of persons with prior legal difficulties under immigration surveillance.
Suarez, who was wanted in two other jurisdictions, was apprehended near the crime scene on Wednesday.
