Ten unruly migrants were busted early Sunday near a Manhattan hotel-turned-lodging for asylum-seekers, as the Big Apple grapples with its overwhelming immigration influx.
The arrested migrants, who are currently or were previously sheltered at the Stewart Hotel, were rounded up on assault and disorderly-conduct charges around 4:30 a.m. near West 31st Street and Seventh Avenue after two separate drunken scuffles, law-enforcement sources said.
Four of the migrants were charged with assault, while the other six were hit with disorderly-conduct raps, after getting into fights and filing complaints against each other, the sources said.
All of the migrants refused medical aid at the scene.
The violence comes after a Jan. 22 migrant melee at the hotel that had two sheltered asylum-seekers hurling bottles at another man, who allegedly then stabbed the pair, police said.
