A 30-year-old father was arrested at the Roosevelt Hotel migrant shelter Saturday on child endangerment charges related to his 11-year-old, law enforcement sources said.
Saturday as part of a child endangerment investigation, police said.
The 30-year-old was taken into custody shortly before 9 p.m. at the iconic Roosevelt Hotel, located at 45 East 45th St.Sexual abuse was not a factor in the investigation, per a 911 call.The arrest is just the latest in a string of chaos at the century-old hotel since it was transformed into a migrant shelter in May., forcing dozens of desperate and exhausted asylum seekers to take refuge on the streets.
Heartbreaking images showed crowd-control ropes separating the migrants from passersby, as those waiting for access to proper shelter huddled under blankets with their belongings alongside them. The Roosevelt Hotel in midtown reached capacity last weekend, forcing many to take refuge on the street.
