5th October 2024
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 and his stepson, Anthony Chester Sliwa, were sent home from the hospital early Saturday morning after being taken to Weill Cornell Medical Center “as a precaution” on Friday evening, according to his spokesperson Sean Darcy.
“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.
