New York Migrant Shelter Fight Leads to Scary Stabbing
Two residents of a Manhattan hotel serving as a migrant shelter were stabbed in a weekend brawl, according to police reports.
According to the police, brothers Jordy Torres-Cabezas, 33, and Dilan Pachecho-Cabezas, 16, were throwing bottles with another man, Alejandro Pollo, 19, at the Stewart Hotel on West 31st Street and Seventh Avenue, around 12:55 a.m. on Saturday.
Police said that Andiley Nazaire, 23 years old, a hotel security worker, was hit by one of the bottles that were thrown. However, it is unclear who the assailants were aiming for, said the New York Post.
According to the police, Nazaire retaliated by stabbing the brothers in the back with pieces of shattered glass.
Police also said that amid the migrant shelter fight, Pollo used his belt to hit another uninvolved individual in the face.

Persons Involved in the Migrant Shelter Fight Were Arrested
The three males at the migrant shelter fight were reportedly immediately escorted out of the hotel by security and led by a supervisor two blocks away to W. 33rd St. and Seventh Ave.
Both brothers were injured and transferred to Bellevue Hospital, where their conditions have since stabilized, according to Yahoo.
Following the event, police arrested all four suspects. The security guard was arrested and charged with several crimes, including assault, menacing, endangering a minor, and illegally possessing a weapon.
Assault, menacing, reckless endangerment, and criminal possession of a firearm were all filed against the two brothers and their friend.
According to sources, prosecutors reportedly decided not to press charges against the younger sibling.
According to the police, the Cabezas brothers and Pollo are all hotel residents.
New York Luxury Hotels Turned Migrant Shelter Are Being Trashed by Residents, Says Employee
A worker at a high-end New York City hotel turned migrant shelter has gone on disability after getting hurt cleaning up a room damaged by migrants.
Felipe Rodriguez, a Row NYC employee, appeared on "Fox & Friends First" to talk about his concerns in early January about the impact of migrants on neighborhood safety and how they have made a "mess" of the institution and wasted fresh food.
Rodriguez, whose job requires him to interact frequently with the migrants, was hurt in the "cluttered" room while delivering a small refrigerator.
"We got people who are... getting drunk, using marijuana. They are punching and beating their wives or their girlfriends. We have teenagers running around wild around the hotel, opening the fire exit doors. It's a mess," he told co-host, Carley Shimkus.
Meanwhile, the critics are outraged because of the wasted food, Fox News noted.
Rodriguez showed video and photos of the hotel throwing out vast amounts of food because the migrants preferred different fares.
"I was shocked," Rodriguez said. "It was mind-boggling, and when I asked some of the guests... they said they [didn't] like it."
New York taxpayers are spending about $650,000 per night to lodge the migrants, or about $500 per room, at the Row.
Rodriguez has expressed concern for public safety despite the squandered food and hotel rooms.
