They dismantle a party of about 400 people in a Manhattan club – Telemundo New York (47)

NEW YORK – New York City sheriffs dismantled another massive party, amid the surge in COVID-19 cases in recent weeks.

Over the holiday weekend, the bailiffs found nearly 400 people at a party inside a club in Midtown. Authorities closed the place just before 3:00 a.m. Saturday, located on West 36th Street, next to the Pig ‘n’ Whistle.

Four organizers of the party were arrested and charged with holding a mass meeting against city and state orders, and for operating without a liquor license.

The New York City Sheriff’s Office tweeted photos of the scene and the dozens of bottles of alcohol recovered at the scene.

The raid comes as Mayor Bill de Blasio and his education and health officials work to reopen public schools.

New York City has registered 1,589 new COVID-19 cases, the mayor announced Saturday. According to city reports, the 7-day average for the five counties reached 3.64% positivity.

Sheriffs dismantled another club party two days earlier, during Thanksgiving break. The party was at a location on Junction Boulevard in Queens, where at least 76 people were found inside, the Sheriff’s Office said in a Tweet.
