America's Mayor ATTACKED: Giuliani Was Struck And People Around Him Felt It

A ShopRite worker in Staten Island was detained Sunday for supposedly slapping former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani on the back at a grocery store.

The NYPD told FOX 5 a 39-year-old male worker came to Giuliani from behind and slapped him on the back.

The incident happened around 3:30 p.m. in the Charleston section of Staten Island.

"All of a sudden, I feel this, ‘Bam!’ on my back," Giuliani told The New York Post, claiming to have nearly fallen over from the contact. "All of a sudden, I hear this guy say, ‘You’re a f---ing scumbag,’ then he moves away so nobody can grab him."

“And he says, ‘You, you’re one of the people that’s gonna kill women. You’re gonna kill women,’ ” Giuliani said, quoting the suspect, who now faces assault charges. ” ‘You and your f–king friend are gonna kill women.’ Then he starts yelling out all kinds of, just curses, and every once in a while, he puts in that woman thing.

” ‘You guys think you’re saving babies, but you’re gonna kill women,’ ” the worker continued to rage, according to Giuliani, also a lawyer for former President Donald Trump.

Giuliani reportedly refused medical attention at the scene.

The former mayor was out campaigning for his son Andrew’s bid pursuing the Republican nomination for Governor of New York.

"Innocent people are attacked in today’s New York all of the time. This particular incident hit very close to home. The assault on my father, America’s Mayor, was over politics," Giuliani’s son Andrew said in a statement. "We will not be intimidated by left-wing attacks. As governor I will stand up for law and order so that New Yorkers feel safe again. This message has resonated with voters throughout my campaign, leading up to Tuesday’s primary."

The incident occurred two days after the U.S. Supreme Court reversed the 1973 Roe v. Wade abortion ruling.

“The Supreme Court made a decision,” Giuliani said. “You don’t go around attacking people because of it. I mean, go get it changed.” The ex-mayor, calling into the Curtis Sliwa Show on 77 WABC talk radio, said the slap felt like “somebody shot me,” and, “Luckily, I”m a 78-year-old who is in pretty good shape.

“If I wasn’t, I would have hit the ground and probably cracked my skull.” The former federal prosecutor told The Post he felt it was his duty to call the cops — likening the decision to his tough-on-crime policies as mayor.

“I say to myself, ‘You know something? I gotta get this guy arrested,’ ” he said. “I talk about ‘broken windows’ theory all the time. You can’t let the little things go.
