Tren de Aragua’s ‘Little Devil’ Migrant Teen Terror Busted Again for NYC Knifepoint Robbery

A 15-year-old Venezuelan migrant busted at least 10 times in the last few months — and believed to be part of a violent crew of young gang members — was arrested again this week for a knifepoint robbery, sources said Wednesday.

And this time he’s finally getting locked up.

The teen terror, who had been sprung without bail after each of his previous arrests, sobbed as the judge remanded him during his arraignment in Manhattan Family Court Wednesday on yet another first-degree robbery charge.

The troublesome teen — identified by sources as a member of “Los Diablos de la 42,” a pint-size offshoot of the vicious Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua — had been cuffed in the latest bust on Tuesday, just as The Post was revealing the baby-faced bandit’s shocking exploits.

He’s accused of pulling a knife on a 34-year-old man at Ninth Avenue and West 35th Street around 7 p.m. Sept. 30, along with a pal, according to the sources.

The teen and his buddy allegedly body-slammed the victim into a pole, flashed a kitchen knife and demanded that he turn over his phone, the sources said.

The youngster, whose name is being withheld because of his age, crossed the US border into Texas with his family in May 2023 and was released — with an immigration hearing scheduled for next month, according to sources.

The teen, who has his nose pierced and several tattoos on his hands, including of a small heart, began crying when his defense attorney said his mother couldn’t make it to court — and then continued to sob during the hearing.

Since May this year, he has made his presence known in the Big Apple, with at least 10 prior arrests for robbery and grand larceny, sources said.

He was released each time, which means he’s been free to return to the city-funded migrant shelters where he has been shacking up — until now.

According to police, he is among about 20 young migrants who call themselves “Diablos de la 42” — Devils of 42nd Street in Spanish — who operate out of the city shelter at the Roosevelt Hotel.
