NYC mayor: Investigate Giuliani for ‘false’ slap claim

KTVZ

NEW YORK (AP) β€” New York City Mayor Eric Adams has suggested that former Mayor Rudy Giuliani be investigated for filing a false police report for claiming he was assaulted β€” and publicly saying he felt like he’d been shot β€” by a heckler who touched his back Sunday at a Staten Island grocery store. The heckler, who allegedly cried out β€œWhat’s up scumbag?” as he walked away from Giuliani, was arrested and spent more than 24 hours in jail before his arraignment Monday on misdemeanor charges including third-degree assault. Adams said Tuesday he thinks Staten Island District Attorney Michael McMahon β€œhas the wrong person that he’s investigating,” referring to Giuliani.
