Ex-NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani Assaulted By Grocery Store Worker In Staten Island

Post by Mr Bean »

It's not as big a deal as it sounds
Deadline wrote: Controversial former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani was assaulted by a ShopRite worker Sunday while campaigning for his son’s gubernatorial bid in the city’s Staten Island borough.

The 78-year-old Giuliani was slammed in the back by an unidentified ShopRite worker, according to the New York Post. The assault reportedly left him shaken, the report said.

“I was stunned,” eyewitness Rita Rugova-Johnson told The Post after the attack at the supermarket. “I was shoulder-to-shoulder with Rudy inside ShopRite,” Rugova-Johnson said. “We’re talking, and all of a sudden an employee came out of nowhere and open-handedly slapped him in the back and said, ‘Hey, what’s up, scumbag?’

The worker was arrested at the store. His charges and identity were not immediately available.

Giuliani was campaigning for his son, Andrew Giuliani, who is in a Republican primary race for governor.
The twitter video is here if you want a watch. The.... "assault" occurs between the 10 second to 14 second marks where you see the Blackguard enter frame, give him a traditional New York greeting and... was quickly arrested by police.

Well I know what the Late Night talk show hosts will be talking about come Monday night.

This isn't assault. It's how New Yorkers say hello to each other.
