A New York City teen seen in a bloody brawl with NYPD officers on a subway platform over the weekend has already been released from custody, according to police union leaders.
Two officers witnessed a pair of 16-year-olds, one male and one female, go through a Manhattan turnstile without paying, police said. They did not identify the juvenile suspects.
Officers followed and asked them to leave.
"The 16-year-old male became verbally aggressive for over three minutes with officers," an NYPD spokesperson said. "The officers attempted to take the 16-year-old male into custody when he began to assault the officers."

"If New Yorkers want to know why the chaos in the transit system is not improving more quickly — this is why," PBA President Patrick Lynch said in a statement. "The criminals underground know they can get in a brawl, choke a cop and be back out in hours. Cops are putting ourselves on the line to make the subways safer, but we are feeling abandoned by a justice system that won’t back us up."
