Asylum Seeking Migrant Assaults NYC Hotel Staff with “No Parking” Sign After Eviction

An asylum seeking migrant, who was previously expelled from the Roosevelt Hotel in Manhattan for his misbehavior, attacked an employee with a “No Parking” sign, according to the police.

The male migrant, who was residing at the hotel along with his spouse, was asked to leave earlier in the week due to disorderly conduct. He attempted to re-enter the hotel to join his wife early Tuesday, June 6th but was barred by a 36-year-old male staff member.

After the altercation, the infuriated migrant waited for the employee outside the hotel, intending to confront him. The distressed staff member fled towards East 46th Street and Fifth Avenue, pursued by the suspect. The alleged assailant caught up with the hotel employee around 1 a.m., where he picked up a “No Parking” sign from the nearby Gotham Hotel and struck the employee on the head with it.

The assaulted worker was admitted to Bellevue Hospital to treat a six-inch wound on his head. He received stitches for the injury. Meanwhile, the suspect escaped on foot, and the police are still on the look out for the migrant.

The Roosevelt Hotel, with its 1,000 rooms, has recently reopened after nearly three years. Last month, Mayor Eric Adams declared it as the city’s primary “asylum seeker arrival center.” Adams describes this as a pioneering facility in the five boroughs and one among nine Humanitarian Emergency Response and Relief Centers (HERRCs).

Adams made an unannounced visit to the Roosevelt and another migrant site, the iconic Candler Tower in Times Square, on Sunday, June 4th. His spokesperson, Fabien Levy, confirmed the mayor’s 45-minute visit, stating Adams wanted to ensure the well-being of the migrants and to show his support for the staff and volunteers.

In a separate incident last month, ten individuals were apprehended at the Stewart Hotel in Midtown, another housing facility for asylum seekers. These migrants were charged with assault and disorderly conduct after a series of altercations and accusations amongst each other.
