A man who spent a night in jail for smacking Rudy Giuliani on the back and calling him a “scumbag” is suing him and several New York City police officers for false arrest and defamation.
Daniel Gill brought the federal lawsuit in Manhattan court on Wednesday, accusing Giuliani of spinning a tale of political violence from an act of harmless heckling. He says members of the NYPD went along with the deception despite video clearly disproving the account.
He said an irate man accused him of wanting to kill women, then hit him in the back so hard he felt “like somebody shot me.” Gill, who had no criminal record, wasSurveillance video of the incident soon appeared to undercut Giuliani’s story. It showed Gill briskly walking by Giuliani and smacking him lightly on the back with an open palm. Giuliani appeared unfazed by the incident.
“The next guy he hits may not be as big and healthy as me, and he may knock him to the ground and kill him,” he continued. “An unbiased observer will see this meritless complaint as absurd—with its extraneous political hyperbole, like in paragraph 22 when the attorney felt it to refer to the specific area of Staten Island as a 'bastion of white conservatism and Trump support,' ” Goodman said in a statement.
