City sheriffs on Tuesday night shut down a Staten Island bar that declared itself an “autonomous zone” and continued to serve indoor customers in defiance of COVID-19 restrictions.
The raid at Mac’s Public House also resulted in the arrest of its co-owner, Danny Presti, who was not cooperative as officers issued the pub several violations for flouting city and health health orders, sources said.
Dozens of angry supporters of the bar descended upon the establishment as officers with the New York City Sheriff’s Department executed their order.
