Councilman Erik Bottcher welcomed news of the arrest and charges, telling The Daily Beast: “Violence, intimidation and vandalism are never acceptable. A message needs to be sent to hate groups everywhere that this sort of behavior will not be tolerated.”
The victim of Nieves’ alleged assault, Bottcher’s neighbor, told The Daily Beast Wednesday: “I’m glad the suspect has been arrested and charged. He and the rest of the group were very threatening that day. I’m still a little shaken by the whole thing.”
“When I was standing up to them, one of the group said, ‘You don’t want to mess with us.’ After that the man came after me from behind. I was pushed in the street and stopped myself against a car. They were very threatening. I wish the whole thing had never happened. It was shocking.”
