New arrest in a Manhattan hotel turned asylum in a hand-to-hand fight with a glass bottle

Authorities said on Monday that another arrest was made in a wild brawl at a Midtown hotel-turned-hospice that resulted in two men being stabbed.

Adonai Carrano, 26, was charged with assault and illegal possession of a weapon for allegedly stabbing three people after a confrontation at the Stewart Hotel on Seventh Avenue near West 31st Street early Saturday morning, according to the criminal lawsuit.

Police said Carrano was armed with two knives and a screwdriver when he was arrested that day.

In November, the city announced that the 600-room hotel was being converted from a temporary shelter into one of the city’s four humanitarian aid centers for migrants.

The fight started when Jordi Torres-Cabezas, 33, and his 16-year-old brother started throwing glass bottles at their friend Alejandro Pollo, 19, police said.

A wild melee broke out in the lobby of the Stewart Hotel on Seventh Avenue in Midtown Manhattan.

According to police, the trio aimed at a stranger, but the flying bottles hit 23-year-old hotel security officer Andy Nazer.

In the midst of the chaos, Pollo also hit an unidentified man in the face with a belt, police said.

Security immediately kicked the three men out of the hotel, and a warden escorted them two blocks to 33rd Street and Seventh Avenue, police said. But Nazer allegedly stalked the group.

Nazer was initially charged with fighting after the two brothers were hit in the back by pieces of broken glass, but prosecutors declined to press charges against him after Carrano was captured.

The wounded brothers were taken to Bellevue Hospital, where their condition is stable.

The two brothers and their friend were charged with assault, threats, reckless endangerment and criminal possession of a weapon. Prosecutors later declined to prosecute Torres-Cabezas’ teenage brother, sources said.

According to the police, Torres-Cabezas, his brother and Pollo live in the hotel.

Late Saturday night, two more security guards at the hotel were arrested in an unrelated fight, police said.

Nashon Mokhabeer, 28, of the Bronx, and his colleague Tirik Melvin, 23, of East Harlem, got into a fight in the break room around 9 p.m., police said. According to police, they were arguing about signing the break room log.

Both were charged with petty assault.
