NEW YORK — Bedbugs have attacked a popular movie theater in Times Square as New York battles the persistent pests. The AMC Empire 25 in Times Square was sprayed overnight and reopened Wed nesday. Also, a guest at an AMC theater in Harlem reported a bite in late July.
Spokesman Justin Scott says all AMC theaters in Manhattan have been inspected.
Bedbugs were found in two seats at the Empire 25 during an Aug. 3 inspection, and a guest reported being bitten last weekend. Pest-control experts were called, the seats were removed, and new ones were installed.
Bedbugs also have been found in several New York stores. City officials have instituted plans to fight the infestations.
