A member of the “Green Goblin” crew that allegedly attacked a pair of 19-year-old women in a Times Square subway station was cut free on supervised release Thursday.
Emily Soto, 34, stayed mum during her arraignment on second-degree robbery charges — and slipped on a green cloth COVID-19 face mask as she left Manhattan Criminal Court.
Her attorney said that Soto, dressed in black Nike sweatpants and white sneakers, had no previous criminal record before turning herself in Wednesday, telling the court, “She brought herself to a precinct when she heard of these allegations.”
Prosecutors argued the attack — allegedly committed by a green leotard-wearing gang — was a “serious matter” because Soto allegedly “was part of a group” of violent subway thieves.
Soto’s release came one day after another alleged member of the crew, Ciante Alston, 26, was cut free on a supervised release at the request of prosecutors.
A third alleged member of the gang, Mariam Issouf, was also freed without bail Tuesday.
Clad in full-body neon green leotards and masks, the suspects were caught on camera allegedly beating two straphangers at the Times Square subway train station at around 2 a.m. Oct. 2. The victims were robbed of a cellphone and a handbag, police said.
The group had been filming TikTok videos dressed in the costumes nearby before the attack, according to NYPD Chief of Detectives James Essig.
The videos later led police to footage of them without face coverings, helping cops identify the suspects, he said.
Soto is due back in court on Nov. 21.
