Migrant woman arrested after slapping NYPD cop trying to confiscate her unregistered motorbike outside NYC shelter

A migrant woman was arrested after she slapped an NYPD officer who was attempting to confiscate her unregistered motorbike in front of a Manhattan shelter for asylum-seekers earlier this week.

The arrest came as several people were caught on camera tussling with cops as they tried to conduct a scooter crackdown Thursday at West 71st Street and Broadway on the Upper West Side, steps from the Stratford Arms Hotel, which is being used as a migrant shelter, according to police.

“Get back!, Get back,” an officer is heard warning the crowd in the clip, before ushering a young man away from the bike onto the sidewalk as he warned, “Bro, you’re going to get arrested.”

Baibaia Rodriguez, 20, was charged with resisting arrest, obstruction of governmental administration and harassment after she “hit an officer with an open hand,” around 10:30 p.m., according to police.

She had also been arrested in July for felony assault in connection with an attack on her boyfriend in a Bronx apartment and was currently being housed at the Stratford Arms, police said.

The incident and arrest was first reported by West Side Rag.

Some Stratford Arms neighbors, led by Joe Germanotta, the father of pop singer Lady Gaga, have voiced concerns about its new residents to city officials, claiming residents have inundated the area with trash, drugs and public disturbances.

“The worst part’s at night. The noise. It starts at about 10 o’clock, and it’ll go until 4 in the morning. Playing music and racing their motocross and motorbikes up and down the streets,” Germanotta, 66, told The Post last month.

Thursday’s scooter crackdown came after “community complaints,” according to police.

The NYPD confiscated four mopeds, one motorcycle and one scooter in addition to nine bicycles that NYPD said were illegally “chained to a pole,” West Side Rag reported.
