A 24-year-old Littleton man has been arrested following the death of a Colorado model who fell from high in a New York Times Square hotel this week after a fight, police confirmed Friday morning.

Tyler Griffin has been charged with assault, reckless endangerment, and acting in a manner injurious to a child, New York Police Department Detective Arlene Muniz said.

An 8-month-old daughter rescued at the OYO Times Square Hotel, 157 W. 47th St., has been placed in protective custody.

The woman — identified online as Dezirae Andersen — fell from high at the hotel and landed on second-story scaffolding, police said.

The police received a 911 call at 10:27 p.m. Tuesday of an assault in progress in the hotel, Muniz said. They found a woman who had fallen on the scaffolding “unconscious and unresponsive,” she said. Emergency medical workers pronounced her dead at the scene.

“Further investigation determined that, prior to the fatal fall, the female and a 24-year-old male had a physical altercation in the hotel where an 8-month-old female child was present,” Muniz said.

Manhattan district attorney prosecutors are handling the case. Medical examiner officials declined to identify the woman, pending notification of her relatives.

Andersen’s Facebook page describes her as a model who had studied at the University of Colorado.

Longmont resident Cheryl Valenzuela, who identified herself as Andersen’s mother, set up a GoFundMe page seeking help with funeral and memorial expenses. “I need to bring her body home to have a proper burial for her,” Valenzuela wrote. Her baby “also needs to be brought home to Colorado from New York.”
