A drone operated by a hotel guest crashed into Midtown’s Hilton Hotel early Friday — leaving debris behind that prompted a shutdown of the block, law enforcement sources said.
The unidentified hotel patron was flying the drone around 3 a.m. when it struck the hotel on Sixth Avenue near West 53rd Street, the sources said.
The guest then reported what happened to hotel staff, prompting police to respond and block off the street because of debris, the sources said.
The drone strike happened the same day Luigi Mangione, 26, accused of fatally shooting UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson outside the same Midtown hotel in December, is set to appear in state court.
The drone incident was not related to that court proceeding, sources said.
