Migrant with loaded AR-15, suspected Mexican cartel member freed from jail after alleged assault on cops

A Big Apple migrant armed with a loaded AR-15 assault rifle and his Mexican cartel pal are both back on the streets — despite allegedly ganging up on NYPD cops at a Bronx subway station.

Abraham Sosa, 20, a migrant living above a Bronx daycare center, was hit with assault, gun possession, resisting arrest and trespassing charges after being nabbed urinating in a subway tunnel on Nov. 5 — while lugging the assault weapon in his backpack, according to sources and records.

His pal, 21-year-old Christopher Mayren, allegedly jumped into the fray when Sosa got into a scuffle with New York’s Finest, leaving two cops injured, according to a criminal complaint.

Yet both thugs are free, Sosa after posting a $25,000 bond and Mayren released without bail.

Sources said a tattoo on Mayren’s arm links him to a vicious drug cartel.

“This is crazy,” one frustrated Bronx detective told The Post Thursday. “You have a member of a Mexican cartel running around. That tattoo is a billboard for, ‘I am a criminal. I don’t care about your laws.

“Can it get more dangerous than riding a subway with a loaded rifle? And when he’s not on a train he’s upstairs from little children in the daycare center,” they said. “These are two very dangerous scenarios.”

It is not immediately clear if one or both of the suspects are in the US illegally.

According to police, the melee unfolded after Sosa strolled past a “no trespassing” sign at the Kingsbridge Road B and D train station around 4:30 p.m. on Nov. 5.

Cops spotted him urinating in the subway tunnel and questioned him.

“Really?” Sosa allegedly told the officers, according to a criminal complaint. “For using the bathroom?

“I hurt my ankle,” he told the cops. “Let me show you my ankle.”

But when police started to handcuff him, Sosa allegedly went nuts and fought back — when Mayren jumped in and started fighting with the officers, knocking two of them to the ground.

Both me were busted and charged, and arraigned in Bronx Criminal Court the following day.

However, Mayren was released without bail and Sosa was sent to Rikers Island on a $25,000 bond — which he posted on Nov. 12, jail records show.

Both are due back in court on Dec. 9.
