after he was seen on a video slapping the back of former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani accepted a deal Wednesday to have the charges dismissed.
The incident occurred in June while Giuliani, 78, was at a Staten Island supermarket in support of his son Andrew's ultimately unsuccessful bid to win the Republican party's nomination for governor. Giuliani was standing with a group of people when a man walking past reached out, touched Giuliani's back with an open palm and then said something as he walked away.
In a statement read in court Wednesday, Assistant Richmond County District Attorney Darren Albanese said the man"violated a basic social contract which is a lesson taught when we are young — keep your hands to yourself." But the district attorney said proving in court that the man caused physical injury or intended to do so would be"extremely difficult."
A message was left Wednesday at an email address listed for Giuliani and with a lawyer who frequently represents him.
When REPUBLICAN do this slapping democrats will be on evry news forever typically HEPOCRAT .
Rudolph Giuliani is a loser
When will Rudy get prison time for the actual criminal offenses he's guilty of
God news everybody! It is OK to assault the elderly in NY State. Cuomo is pretty old. Then again, nobody would care about that. How old is Hochul? Assault away!
He agreed to that, go figure.
Literal definition of a snowflake.
The guy accepted an ACD, the charge is still pending until it isn’t. Unfortunate outcome, but it’s Staten Island, a province of Magastan.
Dude should get the medal of freedom.
I'd rather see the charge kept and the dude dropped
The heckler caught him by surprise while he was reading
That was a tap on the back, not a slap.
Good. The video showed Giuliani lied through his teeth. As usual.
