NY Post
Washington Square Park neighbors hope the midnight madness is finally over — after a party host and provocateur whose raucous antics plagued the famed space was arrested last week.
David “Shaman” Ortiz was taken into custody just before midnight on July 21, when he stepped in front of a slow-moving cop car in a futile effort to stop the breakup of his last rowdy Greenwich Village gathering, authorities said. “They tried to run me over,” Ortiz told The Post a day after his arrest. He posted a video of the incident, in which he was charged with misdemeanor obstructing governmental administration, on his Instagram.More Related News
