Rudy Giuliani, the former mayor of New York and former president Trump’s personal attorney, was mingling with shoppers at a Staten Island grocery store on Sunday when a store employee approached him, slapped him on the back, and called him a “scumbag,” according to police.
39-year-old Staten Island resident Daniel Gill, the Shoprite employee, has been apprehended and charged with second degree assault. As of Sunday night, Gill was still in police custody.
Rudy Giuliani said in an interview with “The Curtis Sliwa Show” following the event, that he was in ShopRite campaigning for his son Andrew Giulani, a Republican running for governor of New York, when “all of a sudden I feel a shot on my back — like somebody shot me.”
According to Giuliani, the employee allegedly said, “You’re going to kill women,” in reference to the supreme court ruling that abolished abortion rights in the Roe vs Wade case.
A man in a billed cap approaches Giuliani from behind and slaps him in the back, as seen on surveillance footage of the incident that was made public.
