Ramon Paulino, 21, is accused of bashing a 14-year-old boy with a log in the median of the Bronx River Parkway on June 18. Video shows 11 others joined Paulino in the vicious attack that left the young victim with stab wounds so severe he went into cardiac arrest. The teen barely survived.

“The attack on this child was brazen, committed in broad daylight, on the median strip of a busy parkway, and the evidence against Paulino is overwhelming,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Sarah Mortazavi wrote to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals in papers filed earlier this month.

“The defendant is a significant flight risk and he poses a danger to the community.”

NYPD Chief of Detectives Dermot Shea previously told the Daily News the parkway attack is linked to the mistaken-identity slaying two days later in a Bronx Bodega of 15-year-old Lesandro ‘Junior’ Guzman-Feliz.
The machete murder horrified the city, and authorities vowed to crack down on the Trinitarios gang.

‘Ramon Paulino, one of 12 Trinitarios members named as suspects in th Bronx River Parkway assault is facing federal charges including gang assault. Paulino’s case is being handled by federal prosecutors. Around a dozen other suspects are still being sought.
Authorities say Paulino lifted a large log over his head and slammed it down on the ground onto the victim, who was also stabbed 13 to 16 times in the lung and kidney in the melee.
The New York Police Department released footage showing a 14-year-old boy being set upon by a large gang of men on June 18 on the Bronx River Parkway near East Gun Hill Road.
Police say the boy was swimming with friends in the Bronx River when a fight broke out with another group. The gang chased the boy before stabbing him several times during the brutal daytime assault.
According to the federal complaint, a high-ranking member of the Trinitarios gang ordered a hit on the 14-year-old victim because of a dispute between the victim’s girlfriend and a female member of the Trinitarios.
The 14-year-old victim allegedly, had identified himself as a member of the Grizzlies, a group affiliated with the Bloods gang. The Bloods are a main rival of the Trinitarios.
The boy was taken to Jacobi Medical Center in critical condition after suffering stab wounds to his lung and kidney.
The stabbing was followed by a shooting police which believe was retaliatory.
