Outraged Staten Island residents took to the street Tuesday night to physically block the arrival of an MTA bus carrying asylum seekers to a newly converted shelter — a move that Mayor Eric Adams called “ugly,” even as over 100,000 migrants have been shipped to the Big Apple since last year.

The group of unruly protesters, captured on video wailing and banging on the sides of the bus, halted traffic just before 10 p.m. after intercepting the bus, which was headed to the former Island Shores senior assisted living facility.

Police said 10 people were taken into custody, with nine being issued summonses for disorderly conduct.

A 48-year-old man, identified as Vadim Belyakov, was charged for allegedly assaulting an officer who was trying to make an arrest.

One video taken of some of the protesters outside the facility at Father Capodanno Boulevard and Midland Avenue showed people whistling and screaming, “You’re not welcome!” and “You are illegal!”

Other videos show demonstrators carrying signs and chanting “USA! USA! USA!” while a man with a megaphone denounces the migrants’ arrival.

No physical altercations were reported with any migrants or bus personnel, police said.

Adams addressed the chaotic demonstration during his morning TV appearances, conceding to NY1 that the “ugly display” put on by a very small group of New Yorkers should not represent the city’s residents as a whole.

“We have 8.3 million New Yorkers. So, if the numerical minority decide to use hateful terms and hateful words — that is not a reflection of who the city is,” the mayor later told FOX5.

“I’m very clear of the frustration and anger, and New Yorkers have expressed that. But they’re not banging on the doors of buses, they’re not spewing hateful words towards ethnic groups.

“And I say to those who believe they’re going to use violence by throwing bottles at police officers and migrants, we’re not going to accept that,” Adams continued. “We’ll manage this crisis, but we’re not going to do it with violence.” 

Adams noted that the NYPD “handled those small number of people” who were acting disorderly.

But one protestor, Sal Monforte, who lives 200 feet from the shelter, insisted to The Post the demonstration was peaceful – until cops arrived and turned the “scene into a riot.”

“People were getting arrested for no reason. The 10 people that got arrested last night should never have gotten arrested,” the retired construction worker, 59, said Wednesday.

“My daughter was holding my 5-year-old grandson last night and one cop was pushing her and I had to step in between.”

“It got a little hectic,” he added.

Monforte, who wasn’t arrested, accused the mayor of ordering cops to round up the demonstrators.

“Last night, there were more than 200 police officers. There were more police than protesters. It was an overstep by the mayor giving orders like this,” he said.

“The shame is we know a lot of the police that are here. They are local police officers. We have good relationships with them. We back them more than anyone.”

The latest migrant protest comes as city officials weigh whether to change how long single adult asylum seekers can stay in Big Apple shelters from 60 days to 30.

While Gov. Kathy Hochul met with President Biden on Tuesday during his trip to the Big Apple for the UN General Assembly this week and apparently discussed the migrant crisis, Adams has not met with the president.

When asked what he would tell Biden if they had time to meet this week, Adams told NY1 he is not one to be “quiet” about what he feels New York City should be doing.

“We need a decompression strategy, we need to properly fund this national crisis by calling it a state of emergency and we need to allow the asylum seekers to work,” Adams said, adding that he feels it’s “wrong” for New Yorkers to be responsible for what he said could be a $12 billion tab over the next three years.

Some Staten Island residents also opposed the arrival of migrants at St. John Villa Academy, a former Catholic school in the Arrochar neighborhood, late last month.

At least 400 protesters rallied outside the shuttered school, which had been transformed into a 300-bed makeshift shelter, as residents seethed over what they described as the unceremonious dumping of unvetted migrants in their neighborhood.
