Exclusive | Venezuelan migrant with links to Tren de Aragua is arrested in robbery of Manhattan prosecutor after she caught him masturbating in her home

A Venezuelan migrant with links to Tren de Aragua has been arrested for allegedly robbing one of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s prosecutors in her apartment building after she busted him masturbating, police sources told The Post Wednesday.

Brandon Simosa, 25, who has apparent ties to the vicious prison gang, was nabbed outside the Row Hotel migrant shelter in Midtown Manhattan Tuesday night over the sick ordeal, the sources said.

He is accused of robbing the 38-year-old assistant district attorney when she arrived home to her 44th Street pad at about 2 a.m. Sunday and busted him midway through the lewd act in the building’s hallway.

Simosa allegedly fled with the prosecutor’s phone after she dropped it in the moment, the sources said.    

He was cuffed on a slew of charges, including sexually motivated robbery, grand larceny and criminal possession of stolen property.

It wasn’t immediately clear how long the alleged perp has been in the United States, or if he has been staying at one of New York City’s taxpayer-funded migrant shelters.
