Video: 'The View's' Sunny Hostin Seen Trying to Convince Police Not to Arrest Her Son

Sunny Hostin, a co-host of ABC's left-wing talk show The View, was captured on video attempting to persuade police not to arrest her son, Gabriel, during a trespassing incident on Metro-North Railroad tracks. On June 16, Gabriel was stopped by officers after being seen on the active railroad tracks, violating a 'no trespassing' sign. Hostin arrived at the scene and identified herself to police, citing her status as a former federal prosecutor and emphasizing her son's academic achievements and positive background. The video shows Gabriel also trying to dissuade officers from issuing a citation, arguing that his actions were not intentional. Officers clarified that while they were giving him a lenient treatment by charging him with trespassing rather than making an arrest, the situation still constituted an 'arrestable offense.' Hostin later issued a statement to the district attorney, claiming her son believed the gates were open and that the 'no trespassing' sign was not visible to him as he entered.
