Penalties for Gang Assault in New York

The crime of gang assault is divided into first degree and second degree in New York. Again, in order for it to constitute a gang assault charge, two or more people must have committed the act.

Gang Assault 2nd Degree

Second-Degree Gang Assault – This occurs when the gang causes physical injury to the victim during the assault. In New York, this is considered a Class C felony and could lead to a prison sentence of up to 15 years.

Gang Assault 1st Degree

First-Degree Gang Assault – When a gang of two or more people attacks an individual and intentionally causes them serious injury, it is considered first-degree gang assault. This charge is categorized as a Class B felony and is punishable by up to 25 years in state prison.

Remember, a gang assault crime does not need to involve gang affiliation to constitute a criminal charge. The term "gang" refers to the number of people acting together in the commission of a violent crime.
