A 26-year-old migrant punched a security guard at the troubled Randall’s Island shelter then attacked responding cops Tuesday morning — only a month after he socked another worker in the face, police and sources said.
The violence broke out when Oswaldo Madrid-Verduo allegedly leaped over the fence into the shelter after being asked to leave by security around 3:30 a.m, according to police and sources.
The enraged migrant then allegedly shoved two security guards and pummeled one of them.

Madrid-Verduo was charged with assault, resisting arrest and obstruction of governmental administration, officials said.
It’s not his first altercation at the shelter.
Just last month, he was arrested for assault and harassment after punching a security guard and wrestling him to the ground when he was escorted out of the shelter on Aug. 9, according to police sources.
His arraignment in the latest case was pending in Manhattan Criminal Court late Tuesday.
The assault came weeks after a migrant mom was shot dead outside the violence-plagued tent city.
