The injuries sustained by the 70-year-old former governor were not life threatening, officials said.
Former Gov. David Paterson and his 20 year-old stepson were assaulted on Manhattan’s Upper East Side Friday evening, according to the governor’s spokesperson and police.
“The Governor's only request is that people refrain from attempting to use an unfortunate act of violence for their own personal or political gain,” Darcy said in a statement via text message on Saturday.Darcy said the governor “and his wife, Mary, are thankful for the quick response time from the police and the outpouring of support they have received from people across all spectrums.”
According to police, Paterson, 70, and his stepson were in an argument near Second Avenue and 96th Street with five unidentified people, just after 8:30 p.m. Friday. Four were described by officials as male and one of whom was female. Members of the group then struck the pair in the face and “about the body,” officials said.
