A migrant was busted for drunkenly fighting cops who tried to boot him from the Randall’s Island migrant shelter over the weekend — sending one to the hospital, police said.
Yakson Mendez, 30, was “intoxicated and acting disorderly” inside the facility at 600 East 125th St. just before 11 p.m. Sunday, cops said.
Security tried to escort him from the shelter – but he refused to leave and became “belligerent” – so the staffers requested help from the NYPD, authorities said.
But Mendez also refused to comply with cops and flailed his arms as they tried to place him in cuffs, cops said.
The arresting officer’s partner was hurt in the scuffle, suffering bruises on his wrist and “substantial” pain in his right shoulder, police said.
