Authorities raided an illegal bar in Brooklyn over the weekend and found nearly 300 people inside.
New York City Sheriff's deputies went into the bar on 61 St. in Borough Park at 2 a.m. on Sunday and found 281 people inside.
They say the bar had its liquor license revoked in 2019.
Among the patrons was a child, authorities said.

From the article:
The obviously broke COVID rules. But they also had too many people per the buildings fire code. They also only had 1 emergency exit, further violating fire code.
Oh, and there was a child at the bar.
And the bar had its liquor license revoked last year.
