Five men with suspected MS-13 gang ties have been indicted in connection with two different attacks in Nassau County last year.

The five are all alleged members of the MS-13 Hempstead Locos Salvatruchas gang, according to the Nassau County District Attorney's Office.

Elias Bonilla, Edras Giron, Jeffrey Archaga, Pedro Velasquez and Kelvin Martinez have all been indicted with two attacks - including one at a Hempstead park.

"I'm not a fan of gangs, so I don't think it has any place in the community," said one concerned parent.

The Nassau County district attorney says what happened at the Kennedy Memorial park last October was a violent attack.

"It was shocking, I mean they hopped the fence, attacked the people who were playing soccer, there was one machete, there were knives," said Nassau County District Attorney Anne Donnelly.

Six people were injured in the attack, ranging in ages from 20-51 years old.

Some people in the area said they were too concerned to speak about the attacks on camera.

"You don't want any of that type of activity here around parks especially with kids here and babies and families all together," said one person.

The second attack happened on Dec. 18. The DA's office says the men attacked two people with pipes and a machete while they were parked outside a Laundromat in Uniondale.

Donnelly says they are seeing an increase in MS-13 violence.

"We're not giving up; we are not going to let MS-13 take back any of the area in Nassau County that they had years ago. We are fighting back, the police are fighting back," she said.

News 12 also learned that three of the five indicted this month are also accused of entering the United States illegally.

All five that were indicted have been remanded by a judge and are in Nassau County Correctional Center.
