Four members of the “Green Goblin” gang who brutally attacked two 19-year-old women on a Manhattan train have been identified by cops and are being sought, authorities said Friday.
Emily Soto, 34, and Mairam Cisse Issouf, Ciante Alston and Dariana Peguero – all 26 – were among the group of suspects who wore full-body neon-green leotards while punching and tossing around two 19-year-old women on a Times Square subway train around 2 a.m. Sunday, NYPD Chief of Detectives James Essig told reporters.
All four identified suspects live in NYCHA’s Queensboro Houses, according to Essig.
Peguero has the most extensive criminal history with nine prior arrests, followed by Alston, who has been cuffed three times, Soto, arrested twice, and Issouf, who has been busted once before, the chief said.

The caught-on-video attack “originally stemmed from an apparent bump on the platform and spilled into the subway car,” Essig said.
The victims were robbed of a cell phone and handbag, cops said.
The bizarrely dressed crew fled after the assault. The other suspects have not yet been identified.
