Multiple arrests after stabbing at migrant shelter on Randalls Island
Arrests are skyrocketing at homeless and migrant shelters across New York City, with a 100 percent surge so far this year — terrifying neighbors who are increasingly ravaged by crime in their communities.
A few months back, a migrant riding on an e-bike sucker punched the finance worker in the back of the head as he crossed the footbridge onto crime-ridden island.
“It’s affected the staff, including us, which is something we just have to deal and live with,” said Doug Gleiber, 51, who runs a wooden box-making company in the neighborhood with his father. “This lunacy is transforming neighborhoods into crime-ridden zones, and New Yorkers are paying the price with their safety and taxpayer dollars.”
Crime also festers at non-migrant shelters, such as the VIP Community men’s shelter that opened in March on East 123rd Street. Last month, a shelter resident referred there by the city Department of Homeless Services managed to sneak a razor blade into the facility and slashed five men, all of whom had to be hospitalized, according to police.
