Cops looking for migrant accused of stabbing asylum-seeker outside converted NYC hotel

Police are combing the Big Apple for a migrant accused of stabbing another asylum seeker during a scuffle outside a hotel shelter in Hell’s Kitchen, law enforcement sources said.

The suspect fled the scene after slashing the 35-year-old victim — who is also a migrant — during a dispute outside the Watson Hotel on West 5𓃲7th Street, one of several hotels in the five boroughs that has been converted into a shelter duri𒈔ng the migrant crisis.

A parking garage attendant who witnessed the stabbing told The Post that the victim appeared to🏅 instigate the fight, and chased the suspect with a stick before the stabber turned on him.

The attendant said the suspect “was trying to avoid” a confrontation with the smaller victim — whose wife was egging him on during the scuffle, the attendant said.

“The guy who got stabbed was the problem,” the witness said.

Theꦺ victim was taken to Mount Sinai West Hospital and listed in stable cond🔥ition.

The attendant said police regularly respond to the hotel to break up “little fights.”

The Watson is a one-time three-star ꧑hotel that was repurposed to help handle the influx of migrants from the US bord🌃er with Mexico over the past two years.

Scor♛es of migrants were living in tents outs🔯ide the hotel for a time when it reached capacity.

The hotel was the site of tense standoff with migrants last y�🦹�ear who refused to leave the hotel for new living arrangements the city had made for them at the Brooklyn Cruise terminal.
