The New York Post reported that authorities have arrested at least 41 people at NYC’s Roosevelt Hotel, which has been turned into a migrant shelter:
Most of the alleged crimes stemmed from domestic-violence incidents, law-enforcement sources said Sunday.The troubling figure surfaced a day after a 30-year-old migrant at the Manhattan hotel-turned-shelter was arrested for alleged child endangerment.He was taken into custody just before 9 p.m. Saturday at the hotel at 45 E. 45th St.His alleged victim was his 11-year-old daughter, according to police sources.
The Manhattan District Attorney’s Office did not prosecute the migrant:
“After thorough investigation and review of the facts, the People declined to prosecute this matter,” a spokesperson for the Manhattan DA’s office said in a statement. “If a crime cannot be proven beyond a reasonable doubt, it is our ethical duty not to charge it.”
The hotel kicked out a migrant due to disorderly conduct. The man returned to be with his wife, but the worker who booted him wouldn’t let him back in.
The migrant hit the worker with a No Parking sign:
The irate migrant went outside and waited for the worker to leave too — so he could confront him, police sources said.The frightened employee ran to East 46th Street and Fifth Avenue, with the other man on his tail, cops said.The suspect caught up to the worker around 1 a.m. and picked up a metal “No Parking” sign, belonging to the nearby Gotham Hotel, and bludgeoned the staffer over the head with it, cops said.The injured man was taken to Bellevue Hospital for a 6-inch gash on his head, and received stitches.
The majority of migrants who have tried to enter the Roosevelt Hotel have been single men.
The authorities recently removed a bunch of migrants sleeping on the sidewalk outside of the hotel.
The Roosevelt Hotel was an iconic hotel that hosted Marilyn Monroe and Charlie Chaplin.
However, the hotel closed in 2020 thanks to the overreaction to COVID. It lost money and couldn’t stay open.
