A man was stabbed outside of a New York City hotel that has been converted into a migrant shelter.
The victim was involved in a dispute outside of the Watson Hotel on W. 57th Street when he was stabbed in the chest and forearm by another man, according to police.
He was privately taken to Mount Sinai West Hospital in stable condition, cops said.
No arrests have been made and the investigation remains ongoing.
The Watson, a three-star hotel in Hell’s Kitchen, was refashioned to house migrants as tens of thousands have inundated the city.
Scores of migrants were living in tents outside the hotel for a time before it became full.
The hotel was the site of tense standoff with migrants last year who refused to leave the hotel for new living arrangements the city had made for them at the Brooklyn Cruise terminal.
It’s not clear if the victim or attacker were migrants or living at the hotel.
