Man Arrested For 4-On-1 Attack At Meatpacking Bar, Police Say

MEATPACKING DISTRICT, NY — A man believed to have been a part of a four-against-one attack at a Meatpacking bar has been arrested, police say.

Cornell Morgan was charged with robbery on Thursday, more than three months after he and three other men robbed a 21-year-old outside the Brass Monkey bar, according to police.

The NYPD said that four people, including Morgan, approached the 21-year-old man at about 4:05 a.m. on Oct. 8. The group was outside the bar, located at 55 Little W. 12th St.

The group punched the 21-year-old repeatedly after an argument, before stealing his cellphone and running away with it, police said.

The 21-year-old did not require medical attention but suffered swelling and a cut near his right eye.

Police have not arrested anyone else in connection with the October incident.

Patch was not immediately able to locate an attorney for Morgan, 27, because he had not yet been arraigned on Thursday afternoon.
