The Spring Valley Police Department announced the arrest of five individuals following a violent gang assault and robbery that left a victim seriously injured earlier this month in the Village of Spring Valley.

According to police, officers were dispatched on May 14, 2026, at approximately 2:05 a.m. to investigate an unknown incident that was later determined to have occurred at 29 South Main Street. Upon arrival, officers located a victim suffering from a deep facial laceration consistent with a slashing.

The victim told officers he had been assaulted by multiple individuals, who fled the scene prior to police arrival. Due to the severity of the injuries, the victim was transported to Westchester Medical Center for treatment. The case was later assigned to the department’s Detective Bureau for further investigation.

Following what police described as a thorough investigation, detectives arrested the following individuals in connection with the incident:

• Kevin Cardona, 31, of Nanuet
• Alexander Salazar-Rosa, 24, undomiciled
• Manuel Vargas-Casum, 22, undomiciled

All five defendants were charged with Gang Assault in the First Degree, multiple counts of Assault in the First Degree, Robbery in the First Degree, and Robbery in the Second Degree.

The defendants were arraigned and remanded to the Rockland County Jail pending further court proceedings.

Police noted that a criminal complaint is merely an accusation, and all defendants are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.
