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 reporters.

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.”

The fuming mom suggested that the state’s lax bail reform laws, which have been blasted for creating a revolving-door justice system, jeopardize law-abiding citizens’ safety.

She accused Gov. Kathy Hochul and state pols of “making these ridiculous laws and letting savages walk the streets with nothing but a slap on the wrist.

“Watch the videos of these two girls getting beaten by a gang of grown women, and imagine it was your daughter, granddaughter, sister, mother or friend. Put yourself in that situation,” she said.

“Animals belong behind bars,” she fumed. “Make an example of them.

“What happened to the New York City we all loved? Start fixing it now!”

‘Green Goblin’ crew member released without bail in NYC subway beating

An alleged member of the neon-cloaked “Green Goblin” gang accused of pummeling two 19-year-old women on a Times Square subway train was released without bail Tuesday — with her lawyer insisting she didn’t do anything wrong.
Mariam Issouf, 26, was cut loose on supervised release after being arraigned on a second-degree robbery charge in the Oct. 2 caught-on-video assault — one day after she turned herself in to cops with her defense attorney at her side.
“She did nothing wrong,” lawyer John Russo claimed as he walked out of court with Issouf — who covered her head with a leather jacket to obscure her face.
“My client has no record,” Russo said. “My client attacked no one. She assaulted not one of the victims and is seen on videotape saying, ‘I want no part of this. Let’s go.'”
Russo claimed that his client, who was dressed all in black for her court appearance, even “tried to assist the victim.”
The NYPD has identified three other members of the goblin gang — Emily Soto, 34, and Ciante Alston and Dariana Peguero, both 26 — in the shocking assault.
All four live in the housing authority’s Greensboro Houses, sources said.

At least a half-dozen women wearing full-body, neon green leotards punched and tossed around the two victims around 2 a.m., taking their cellphones and handbags, police said.


The angry mother of one of the victims called the gang “complete animals” last week, and said her daughter was celebrating her birthday with a pal when she was attacked.


“All these men sitting there taking videos and watching, and none of them helped while a group of 10 women were beating two young girls,” the mom fumed.

“Watch the videos of these two girls getting beaten by a gang of grown women, and imagine it was your daughter, granddaughter, sister, mother or friend. Put yourself in that situation,” she said.


She added: “Animals belong behind bars. Make an example of them.”


Issouf’s attorney, however, insisted that his client “did nothing wrong,” adding, “and being called an animal and a savage in the press is beneath every member of the press and everyone in this city.”

Sources confirmed that Issouf has no known criminal record, but did make headlines in the past — when she was a 5-year-old and was kidnapped by a teen neighbor.


Issouf was playing outside her building around 11 a.m. July 10, 2001, when she was grabbed and taken away in a gypsy cab, police said.

One of the suspected members of a group of “Green Goblin” thieves who terrorized two women inside a Times Square subway train turned herself in on Monday, law enforcement sources told The Post.
Mariam Issouf, 26, surrendered to police Monday afternoon after she came in with her lawyer, according to sources. Issouf was arrested and charged with robbery, sources said.
Issouf, of Queens, is allegedly one of several female thieves dressed in neon green leotards who attacked two 19-year-old women and robbed them of a cellphone and handbag on Oct. 2, according to police and footage of the incident posted online.
Some of the suspects had hoods and masks over their faces to conceal their identities, footage indicated.
The NYPD identified four members of the “Green Goblin” gang Friday — with Issouf one of the named suspects. The other three are Emily Soto, 34, and Ciante Alston and Dariana Peguero, both 26, police said.

Issouf was the victim of a kidnapping back in 2001 when she was only 5 years old, sources said.
She was taken from her front yard by a 17-year-old perp who pleaded guilty to unlawful imprisonment in 2002 in exchange for long-term psychiatric care.

Green Goblin Gang: Video shows female menaces in bizarre garb attack Times Square straphangers

​

Two more members of the “Green Goblin” crew that allegedly attacked a pair of 19-year-old women at a Times Square subway stop have turned themselves in, police said Wednesday.
Emily Soto, 34, surrendered to cops in Manhattan on Wednesday morning with her attorney and was charged with second-degree robbery, according to cops and police sources.
A day prior, Ciante Alston, 26, was arrested by cops on a charge of second-degree robbery, court records show.
It comes after the first alleged member of the gang, Mariam Issouf, was freed without bail Tuesday following her arraignment on a second-degree robbery charge in the caught-on-video assault. Issouf turned herself in to cops with her defense attorney at her side on Monday.
Police identified Soto, Issouf, Alston and a fourth woman, Dariana Peguero, all 26, as the neon-clad suspects who allegedly pummeled two straphangers at the Times Square subway train station around 2 a.m. Oct. 2.

The suspects, clad in full-body neon green leotards, were caught on camera during the beatdown that was sparked by a bump on the platform, police said.

Another member of the “Green Goblin” crew that allegedly beat and robbed two teens on the subway has surrendered, police said Monday.
Dariana Peguero, 26, turned herself in to the Manhattan warrant squad Saturday and was charged with felony robbery before she was sprung on supervised release, NYPD Chief of Detectives James Essig said.
Peguero is the fourth member of the group to be charged in connection with the bizarre Oct. 2 attack at the Times Square subway station.
“We’re still looking to ID the others who were there and to find out the extent of what they did. That’s the fourth one that we had actively involved in the robberies and the assault,” Essig said of the latest cuffed suspect.

Last week, Emily Soto, 34, and Mariam Issouf and Ciante Alston, both 26, also turned themselves in and were hit with the same charges.

The crew is accused of attacking two 19-year-old women and stealing their cell phone and purse after one of the victims apparently bumped into them, cops have said.


At the time, the attackers were wearing neon green bodysuits, and the incident was caught on now-viral video.
