"All of a sudden, I feel this, 'Bam!' on my back," Giuliani told the Post."I feel this tremendous pain in my back, and I’m thinking, what the — I didn't even know what it was," he told the Post. "I hear this guy say, 'You're a f--king scumbag,' then he moves away so nobody can grab him," Giuliani added.he had "red marks" on his back but wasn't bleeding.

Slapped?
Axios stop sharing fake news. No one was slapped.
I have no problem charging the person with assault as long as you are consistent in your charges when the NYPD does this and much worse to people. How was this assault when they literally choked Eric Garner to death? What? You thought we forgot?
They got the wrong guy. The suspect’s short, bald, +/- 80 y/o and is wanted for defrauding the United States, orchestrating a coup, inciting a violent riot at the US capitol, continuing to spread dangerous misinformation, and being a nasty pervert.
Thoughts and prayers
That was a pat on the back. Not a slap. Rudy overreacting
love tap
No he wasn’t. We’ve seen the video.
the headline is fake news
Pray for Rudy
UPDATE: The NYPD said a 39-year-old suspect will face a second-degree assault charge after Rudy Giuliani was slapped on the back at a Staten Island grocery store today
Wimp
Lovely non violet Democrats.
Slapped is a strong word.
Midly patted on the back should be the headline.
That was generous calling that a slap. More like a gentle pat.
I am waiting for FOX trot to twist this video and spurt some lies
I would never slap him. You might get hair dye on your hands
This is clickbait. He wasn’t slapped. Watch the video.
*patted
Not what happened. Please fix.
I hope the authorities arrested whoever assaulted the Mayor.
the VIOLENT left
How is this 'a slap'? Guy looks like he was really happy & said hello & probably a fan of when he was the Mayor. I can't believe Rudy is pressing assault charges on him.
IN THE FACE? MY GOODNESS
LMFAOOOO
That's a lie.
I'm sure the person that slapped him was just a friendly tourist.
We should never condone violence. Why is he out and about anyway? The last couple years of attacking our democratic process and inciting an insurrection with his lies? Surely, an indictment must be in his future.
Ask Chris Rock
I guess back-slapping pols are a thing of the past?
😂
“Slapped” is a massive overstatement
He wasn’t slapped, somebody patted him on the back. Stop with the hyperbole and drama.
