An 15-year-old migrant was expected to get his day in court Saturday.
A 15-year-old migrant was charged as an adult with attempted murder after allegedly firing a gun at a security guard and NYPD cops in Times Square and injuring a tourist in the process.
Jesus Alejandro Rivas-Figueroa appeared in Manhattan Criminal Court Saturday as he was set to be arraigned in the suspected robbery gone wrong, authorities said.
The teen was charged with two counts of attempted murder, assault, attempted assault, and two counts of criminal possession of a weapon, cops said.
Rivas-Figueroa, who was ushered to court by two detectives, wore the same dark T-shirt and jeans he was photographed in during his arrest walking into court with a scowl on his face and his hands cuffed behind his back.
He shook his head no when asked if he spoke English, and refused to answer when a Post reporter called his name and asked, “Porque?” or “why?”
The US Marshals Joint Regional Fugitive Task Force and the NYPD collared the “armed and dangerous” Venezuelan teen in Yonkers on Friday.
The teen wept as he was taken into custody at around 3:30 p.m. Friday at what sources said was the home of a relative on Saratoga Avenue.
