MEATPACKING DISTRICT — Two men who were making a scene outside The Standard hotel were arrested when one pretended to be a police officer and the other kicked out the window of an NYPD van, police said.
Ilir Kuka, 23, and Partiot Kuka, 27, were screaming and yelling about 12:15 a.m. on Nov. 29 in front of the swanky Meatpacking District hotel when security guards and a hotel manager asked them to leave, police said.
When a manager threatened to call police if they didn’t leave, Partiot shot back, “I am a cop and I work at the 47th Precinct," police said.
The manager asked to see his ID, police said, and Partiot told him, “I’m not showing you nothing, I’m a cop and that’s it.”
Police arrived and arrested Partiot, who resisted by twisting away and flailing his arms, police said.
Ilir was taken into custody too and placed into an NYPD van, where he kicked out a side window, shattering it, police said.
Ilir was charged with auto stripping and criminal mischief, both misdemeanors. He also received a violation for disorderly conduct.
He was held in jail after he didn't post bail, which a judge set at $1,000 bond or $500 cash. He's due back in court on Jan. 5.
Partiot was charged with resisting arrest and criminal impersonation. He was released without bail and is due back in court on Jan. 29.
Attorneys for Ilir and Partiot did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
