A smalltime Kuwaiti film director was robbed after summoning a hooker to his Midtown hotel room and arguing with her — because she looked nothing like her advertised picture, police sources said.
The 29yearold man had made arrangements via a Web site to have a woman come to his room at the Westin on 43rd Street near Eighth Avenue at about 3:15 a.m. on July 23, sources said.
When a tall woman arrived to provide a “body rub,” he complained that she wasn’t the one he had selected from an online picture, police sources said.
The woman responded by taking out a pepperspray canister and threatening trouble from men who she claimed were waiting outside if he didn’t hand over his valuables, sources said.
The woman fled with $800 in cash and a watch she had grabbed from the customer, sources said.
She was caught on elevator surveillance video clutching the money in her hand, one source said.
Cops said they weren’t releasing the man’s name because they consider him a victim.
