Wild melee inside Manhattan hotel-turned-shelter ends with brawling brothers stabbed by security worker

When three men began throwing glass bottles at a stranger inside a Midtown Manhattan hotel-turned-shelter, they wound up striking a security worker — who sought revenge, stabbing two of them with shards of the broken glass, cops said.

Jordy Torres-Cabezas, 33, and his 16-year-old brother started throwing glass bottles with their friend Alejandro Pollo, 19, in the Stewart Hotel on Seventh Ave. near W. 31st St. at about 12:55 a.m. Saturday, cops said.

In November, city officials announced the 600-room hotel was transitioning from being an emergency shelter to one of the city’s four humanitarian relief centers for migrants.
