The “Green Goblin” gang members who allegedly attacked a pair of 19-year-old women in New York have been identified and are being sought by police.
Emily Soto, 34, and Mairam Cisse Issouf, Ciante Alston and Dariana Peguero — all 26 — are suspected of wearing full-body neon green leotards while punching and throwing 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, according to the New York Post.
The four identified suspects live in the Queensboro Houses, according to Essig.
Peguero has a considerable criminal history with nine prior arrests, followed by Alston, who has been arrested three times, Soto, arrested twice, and Issouf, who has been arrested once before, police said.

The victims were robbed of a cellphone and handbag during the attack, which was captured on video.
Police said it’s possible there are other suspects who have not been identified.
The mother of one of the victims told the Post she wants the book thrown at those responsible for the attack. Her daughter told her she was “attacked by aliens,” confusing the mother.
“Yesterday was her birthday,” the mother told the Post.
“This is how she spent her 19th birthday. I hope they get what they deserve and then some because it’s disgusting.”

The mother, who asked not to be identified, according to the Post, blamed weak bail laws for the incident, allowing “savages (to) walk the streets with nothing but a slap on the wrist.”
She added: “Watch the videos of these two girls getting beaten by a gang of grown women, and imagine it was your daughter, granddaughter, sister, mother or friend. Put yourself in that situation,” she said.
“Animals belong behind bars,” she said. “Make an example of them.”
“What happened to the New York City we all loved? Start fixing it now,” she added.
