A violent illegal immigrant who was arrested for taking part in a mob attack on two NYPD officers flipped the bird at awaiting reporters as he was released from custody on Wednesday.

Jhoan Boada, 22, made the offensive double-handed signal after he was released from police custody on charges of assaulting a police officer and gang assault for the shocking beat down in Times Square on Saturday near a migrant shelter.

Boada didn’t appear bothered by the serious charges as he flipped his two middle fingers and smirked at reporters and photographers outside the Midtown South Precinct in Manhattan.

He was wearing a black Los Angeles Lakers shirt and khakis leaving the precinct station, while he has a tattoo on his left forearm.

Boada and several other illegal immigrants attacked an NYPD officer and lieutenant just steps from the New Amsterdam theater — a popular destination among tourists. The caught-on-camera attack has sparked widespread condemnation.  

In another Post photo a hooded suspect wearing a backpack can be seen kicking one of the officers in the head as he grapples on the ground, while another suspect in a red top kicks him in the back.

Seven illegal immigrants have now been charged in relation to the attack.

Darwin Andres Gomez Izquiel, 19; Kelvin Servat Arocha, 19; Juarez Wilson, 21; and Yorman Reveron, 24, were charged earlier this week with a variety of charges, including assault on a police officer, gang assault, obstructing governmental administration and disorderly conduct.

The NYPD told Fox News Digital on Thursday that two other migrants have also been arrested, bringing the total number of arrests to seven. Yohenry Brito, 24, and Jandry Barros, 21, were arrested and both charged with robbery and felony assault.

The robbery charges pertain to an officer’s cellphone being stolen during the attack. The phone has not been recovered, the NYPD tells Fox News.

In the video, the NYPD asked the migrants to move, but a scuffle ensued as the officers were seen trying to subdue a person in a yellow jacket onto the ground.
