The New York Post reports that, while three suspects remain at large, two suspects were issued desk-appearance tickets police and released.

Butt is fuming at the horrible “bail reform” system that put two of his attackers back on the streets.
Taxi driver Afzal Butt, 60 — who suffered chest, neck and face injuries in the shocking Manhattan caught-on-camera beat-down — blasted New York’s lenient bail-reform laws as a “horrible system” after a pair of his alleged assailants were issued a desk-appearance ticket and allowed to walk free.
“If they’re not going to put them behind bars, this is a horrible system,” fumed the cabbie, who emigrated to the US from Pakistan and has been driving a taxi since 2004. “I am hopeless and helpless with this system.”
Butt said the city is going to hell in a handbasket regarding crime.
“Send the mayor the video and tell him die with the shame,” the cabbie said.
