A migrant viciously attacked and bit a security guard who intervened in a fight between the man and his wife inside the Randall’s Island shelter on Monday, sources said.
The 24-year-old aggressor, Oscar Adrian Al Ordonez, was arguing with his wife around 6:45 a.m. Monday within the tent city that houses asylum seekers when the 40-year-old guard stepped in to try and cool things down, the sources said.
But tensions flared when Ordonez suddenly slugged the worker, scratched him in the face and neck and even bit him on the head, according to the sources.

The guard fought back, punching Ordonez in the face, causing bruising and bleeding on his cheek, according to the sources.
Ordonez was taken into custody, sources said.
Both he and the guard refused medical attention.
The fracas came weeks after a rowdy mob was involved in a brawl at the same shelter that injured four security guards and left one migrant suffering a stab wound, police and sources said.
Five men, believed to be migrants housed at the massive tent city, were charged with assault after jumping the 24-year-old victim while he was eating on his bunk around 1:45 a.m., cops said.
The guards tried to step in but they were also attacked, sources said.
