disorderly

A spokesperson for the MTA Police Department confirmed in a statement that officers responded Thursday morning to a “report of a disorderly passenger” at the Fordham Metro-North station in the Bronx.

They said the matter was being investigated as "disorderly conduct", but could be widened if necessary.

Mr Brown added the case "runs the risk of acting as an impetus for further protests, some of which may be disorderly, around other asylum accommodation".

He said offences included disorderly behaviour, drink-driving, assault on police and possession of controlled drugs.

In March 2022, he struck a deal and pleaded guilty to a lesser charge — disorderly conduct.
