Two friends say a 31-year-old man tried to force himself on one of the women at the Conrad Hotel, then tried to fight the other for trying to stop him.A Queens man was arrested after he tried to rape a 20-year-old acquaintance — and then fought with the accuser’s friend in a luxury Battery Park City hotel Sunday, police said.
The two women alleged that Kareem Walker, 31, tried to force himself on one of them in a room at the ritzy Conrad New York Hotel, on North End Ave. near Vesey St., around 6:40 a.m., authorities said.
He then turned his aggression toward the second woman when she tried to stop him, police said.
Walker allegedly fled, but forgot his cell phone in the room and returned later that morning. He was arrested when he came back for the phone.
He was charged with attempted rape, attempted grand larceny — for trying to steal one of the women’s phones — unlawful imprisonment, assault and criminal mischief.
Both accusers, who police said knew Walker, refused medical attention.
Rooms at the Conrad, an all-suite hotel that’s part of the Hilton chain, range from $250 a night to $2,000 for the presidential suite.
