Rudy Giuliani was slapped by a worker at a ShopRite on Staten Island on Sunday while campaigning for his son, leaving the 78-year-old former NYC mayor shaken, the ex-pol told The Post.
Giuliani said he had just gotten out of the men’s room at the store on Veteran’s Road and was being greeted by a bunch of supporters when he was suddenly hit from behind — an incident caught on surveillance video obtained by The Post.
“All of a sudden, I feel this, ‘Bam!’ on my back,” Giuliani said. “I don’t know if they helped me not fall down, but I just about fell down, but I didn’t.
“I feel this tremendous pain in my back, and I’m thinking, what the — I didn’t even know what it was,” he said. “All of a sudden, I hear this guy say, ‘You’re a f–king scumbag,’ then he moves away so nobody can grab him.
“And he says, ‘You, you’re one of the people that’s gonna kill women. You’re gonna kill women,’ ” Giuliani said, quoting the suspect, who now faces assault charges. ” ‘You and your f–king friend are gonna kill women.’ Then he starts yelling out all kinds of, just curses, and every once in a while, he puts in that woman thing.
” ‘You guys think you’re saving babies, but you’re gonna kill women,’ ” the worker continued to rage, according to Giuliani, also a lawyer for President Donald Trump.
“The Supreme Court made a decision,” Giuliani said. “You don’t go around attacking people because of it. I mean, go get it changed.”
The ex-mayor told ABC the slap felt like “somebody shot me,” and, “Luckily, I”m a 78-year-old who is in pretty good shape.
“If I wasn’t, I would have hit the ground and probably cracked my skull.”

Witness Rita Rugova-Johnson told The Post she was “stunned” to see the attack.
“I was shoulder-to-shoulder with Rudy inside ShopRite,” Rugova-Johnson said. “We’re talking, and all of a sudden an employee came out of nowhere and open-handedly slapped him in the back and said, ‘Hey, what’s up scumbag?’
“[The attacker] was on duty at the time,” the witness said. “The cops arrested him.”
Sources said police took the assailant into custody at the store.
So, what is going to happen to that individual? Did the store fire that person? Hello?
Civil discourse. Impossible with these Marxist barbarians...
It was a “mostly peaceful” slap, so all is OK.
Why take it out on Rudy? He had nothing to do with the Supreme Court ruling.
Typically getting arrested at work for assault gets one fired...
It simply cannot go on, that one side in our politics resorts routinely to violence while the other is expected to just take it. They should throw the book at this vermin.
The former federal prosecutor told The Post he felt it was his duty to call the cops — likening the decision to his tough-on-crime policies as mayor.
“I say to myself, ‘You know something? I gotta get this guy arrested,’ ” he said. “I talk about ‘broken windows’ theory all the time. You can’t let the little things go.
“I’m like, ‘I’m gonna get this guy arrested as an example that you can’t do this. And I said, also, in New York, we don’t prosecute people anymore And one of the reasons I brought crime down is I didn’t ignore stuff like this.”
Yes, typically. However, we are living in a new paradigm, ma'am.
Assault & battery.
“””all of a sudden an employee came out of nowhere and open-handedly slapped him in the back and said, ‘Hey, what’s up scumbag?’”””
I watched the video and the slap on the back without words could have been ‘great job Rudy’.
So unlike the saying ‘sticks and stones may break my bones but words cannot harm me’ this episode reverses that saying to “words can harm me after sticks and stones’.
Followed by an ambulance call, saying, "Take your time..."
Soon enough, it will start.
This is why taxpayers fund jails.
Abortion is at risk in NYC or NYS?
Call Albany.
Domestic terrorists. Treat them as such.
Press charges to the hilt. Take him to Civil Court and sue the daylights out of him.
I believe Giuliani is “pro choice.” One of the reasons I didn’t support him for president.
Also elder abuse.
