Dozens of people who were drinking and smoking hookah inside an illegal club in New York City were cited over the weekend and the club owner has been arrested, authorities said.
Sheriff Joseph Fucito announced that deputies found at least 75 people inside an illegal bar located at 65-25 Roosevelt Avenue in Queens on Saturday. The location had a heavily fortified door and blocked egresses, creating a safety hazard in the event of a fire or other emergency, Fucito said.

A young British Youtuber watched with incredulity as 20 officers from West Midlands Police invaded his Birmingham flat to investigate false claims he was having a party in contravention of coronavirus lockdown laws, yet officers only found three people inside.
“How many of yous does there need to be?” asked 18-year-old Jayden Gray, known as Canking, as the officers filed into his apartment.
Speaking both to the officers and his mobile phone, he asked how many people are legally allowed to be in a property. Failing to grasp that the remarks were meant to mock West Midlands Police for not socially distancing while more and more crowded into the entranceway, one officer said, “well, we need to discuss that” before other officers barged past the YouTuber.
