Couple sues Queens, NYC hotel after being robbed by armed men they thought were delivering Uber Eats
NY POST ^ | July 2, 2023 | By Priscilla DeGregory

Hotel workers, including a security guard, called the police — but otherwise it looked like they “didn’t take it seriously,” the boyfriend said.

A young couple was robbed at gunpoint inside their Queens hotel room by men they thought were delivering an Uber Eats order, according to a new lawsuit blaming the hotel for negligent security.

The man and woman, both 26, were staying at the Boro Hotel in Long Island City after visiting with friends on Jan. 2, 2021 when the traumatizing incident went down, according to their Brooklyn Supreme Court lawsuit from Friday.

“It was pretty scary,” said the man, who, along with his girlfriend is suing anonymously due to embarrassment over the incident and for their safety.

“I went to open the door to get the food [and] two guys busted in and put a gun to my head,” he told The Post. “I was not wearing any clothes.”

The boyfriend, who is from New York, explained he’d ordered a cake from a local bakery on Uber Eats, but fell asleep before it arrived around midnight.

He heard a knock on the hotel room door and believed it was someone bringing their delivery order, according to their lawsuit.

Instead, two brutes pushed their way into the room and one of them put a gun to the man’s head while the other ripped the sheet off of the woman lying in bed and tied her legs together with the bedding, the filing alleges

The gunmen made the boyfriend lay face down on the floor as he remained “butt-naked” — with one of them holding a firearm to the back of his head and ripping the necklace he wore from his body, he recounted.

His girlfriend awoke to the terrifying scene, before the second gunman approached her, she said.

They wuz robbed by Uber Eats.... I mean robbed by fake Uber Eats.
Is this story fake or real? Is this lawsuit on the level? The woman was not even raped by the fake Uber Eats men.

“She added that she “regularly” wakes up to nightmares of the incident. That was my first time having a gun close to me,” she said.”

I don’t see how the hotel can be blamed. If cops are hesitant to use force against robbers, what can a private security guard do?

Ha I use to live in Sunnyside Queens which is the next town over. I don’t even want to think what it’s like now under DemoMarxist rule. I believe that’s AOCs district. How about suing her for pushing the defunding of the police? And being that these two are 26 odds are they are college indoctrinated DemoMarxists, so please sue yourselves.

I’ve only seen one-person deliveries.

This was in New York City.
“I don’t like Los Angeles. The people are awful and terribly shallow, and everybody wants to be famous but nobody wants to play the game. I’m from New York. I will kill to get what I need.” singer Lady Gaga, Mar 29, 2010.


24% of New York City residents registered as Republicans.

On the bright side, it was not said by Chris Christie.

Yes, that line struck me as VERY odd. WHO answers the door naked? Especially to what they thought was a delivery person? smh

“Why wait over two years to sue?”


That’s normally the statute of limitations for filing suit in this type case. In the meantime, their attorney is gathering information, trying to settle with the insurance company of the hotel, etc.

I didn’t know about the statute of limitations.

It makes sense. They are looking for a quick buck.

It takes a long time to get over the trauma. They are still shaking and weren’t able to write the lawsuit.

24% of New York City residents registered as Republicans.

Democrats in New York promote the strategy of registering in the Republican Party to vote for weak candidates in the primaries.

Instead of assaulting the woman they tied her legs together, which probably tells us something.
