  • Giuliani said he felt like he was going to die.

  • If he hadn't been more fit, Giuliani said he could have hurt himself.

  • A man slaps Giuliani on the back before he walks on.

Rudy Giuliani said that an attack that could have resulted in him falling, cracking his skull, and dying was caught on camera.

Giuliani claimed to have been attacked by a man at a Staten Island shop. Giuliani is campaigning for his son Andrew, who is running for governor of New York.

The radio show hosted by Sliwa was called by Giuliani. The former mayor said that he was attacked by a group of people who were hugging and kissing him after he left the men's room.

I feel someone shoot me on my back. Giuliani said that he didn't fall down.

I cannot repeat the guy's words. You do whatever you please. Giuliani said that the man was either drunk or high and that he looked like a woman.

The former mayor said that if he was a weaker 78-year-old he would have died.

Giuliani claimed to The New York Times.

He said that he had "red marks" on his back after the incident, but he was able to walk.

Andrew Giuliani told NBC that his family would not be intimidated by left-wing attacks. I will stand up for law and order as governor.

The New York Post released footage of the attack, but it didn't show Giuliani moving or falling. Giuliani pointed his finger at the man who confronted him in the video.

According to the Times, the man involved in the incident with Giuliani was a grocery store worker.

The New York Police Department told The Times that the 39-year-old employee had slapped Giuliani on his back and that investigations were ongoing.

The unnamed man will be charged with second degree assault.
