Grocery store worker arrested

Rudy Giuliani was mingling with people at a Staten Island grocery store on Sunday when an employee approached the former New York mayor, slapped him on the back and called him a “scumbag,” according to police. Now, that Shoprite employee, 39-yearold Staten Island resident Daniel Gill, has been arrested and charged with assault of someone 65 or older — a felony, a New York Police Department spokesman told The Washington Post. Gill, who could not be reached for comment, was in custody as of Sunday night, the spokesman said. It was not immediately clear whether he has an attorney. Giuliani, who was former president Donald Trump's personal lawyer, did not respond to a request for comment. Speaking on The Curtis Sliwa Show after the incident, Giuliani said he was at Shoprite campaigning for his son, a Republican candidate for New York governor, when “all of a sudden I feel a shot on my back — like somebody shot me.”

“I went forward, but luckily I didn't fall down,” Giuliani said. “Lucky, I'm a 78-year-old who's in pretty good shape, because if I wasn't, I'd have hit the ground and probably cracked my skull.”
