The most recent incident came after a series of attacks at the New York City migrant shelter.
In April, five men were arrested by the NYPD after they allegedly pounced on another man in his bed and injured a security guard during the brawl.

The five men, between ages of 20 and 33, were accused of pummeling another man as he ate food in his bed shortly before 2 a.m. at the shelter on East 125 Street.
The pack of migrants surrounded the bed and punched and scratched the victim "all over his head and face" and on his legs, police said.
The five men are charged with third-degree assault and harassment.

In February, police arrested two other migrants at the same facility when they allegedly both punched another security guard in two separate altercations on the same evening.
In that incident, officers responding to a 911 call for the first assault witnessed the second when a migrant began attacking the security guard while police were trying to talk to him, the New York Post reported.
