Six people, including four firefighters, were injured yesterday in a blaze at an Upper West Side hotel that led to the evacuation of the 16-story building, authorities said.
Firefighters were called around 2 p.m. to the Riverside Tower Hotel at 80 Riverside Drive.
Wyatt Obeid, a disabled desk clerk, was injured in the blaze after he became trapped in a ninth-floor room. Obeid was taken to St. Luke's Hospital in critical condition.
The firefighters suffered minor injuries.
The blaze was under control about two hours later. The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
