Eric Adams says Rudy Giuliani should be investigated for falsely reporting a crime after claiming he was assaulted in a Staten Island supermarket.
STATEN ISLAND, New York City -- Former Mayor Rudy Giuliani should be investigated for falsely reporting a crime after claiming he was assaulted in a Staten Island supermarket, Mayor Eric Adams said Tuesday.
Gill was arrested and initially charged with second-degree assault, a felony, although those charges were later downgraded to misdemeanor counts of third-degree assault, third-degree menacing, and second-degree harassment."Someone needs to remind former Mayor Giuliani that falsely reporting a crime is a crime," Adams said."From what he stated about being punched in the head, it felt like a bullet.
Giuliani fired back at Adams, saying he can't be charged with falsely reporting a crime because he didn't file the initial report that he was assaulted. Police say Gill slapped Giuliani on the back while he was campaigning for his son, Andrew Giuliani, in the state's gubernatorial race.
