NEW YORK (1010) — An Australian football player has been arrested for groping a woman at a Manhattan hotel, police said.
AFL forward Jordan De Goey, 25, and another Australian man allegedly groped a 35-year-old woman at the Dream Hotel on West 16th Street around 2:20 a.m. Saturday, police said.
De Goey, who plays for the Collingwood Magpies, and Luke Dyson, 28, crept up on the woman at the hotel’s rooftop bar and grabbed her — before attacking one of the woman’s male friends who then confronted them, the New York Post reported.
De Goey allegedly hit the man in the face with a bottle and kicked him, according to the paper.
The athlete appeared in court Sunday wearing a bathrobe — an apparent Halloween outfit — according to 9News Australia reporter Michael Genovese.
