The most recent incident occurred after a series of attacks on the New York City shelter for migrants.
In April, five men were arrested by New York police after lunging at another man in his bed and injuring a security guard during the scuffle.

The five men, aged 20 to 33, were accused of hitting another man while he was eating in his bed shortly before 2 a.m. at the shelter on East 125th Street.
THE pack of migrants surrounded the bed and punched and scratched the victim “all over his head and face” as well as his legs, police said.
All five men are charged with third-degree assault and harassment.

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