<p>A supermarket employee slapped former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani in the back on Sunday while campaigning for his son, Andrew, who is running to become the state&#8217;s next governor.</p>
<p>The slap occurred at a ShopRite located on the island&#8217;s southwest end and reportedly shook up 78-year-old Giuliani. According to a witness, the police arrested the suspect, who was on duty at the time of the incident.</p>
<p>At approximately 3:30 p.m., a 39-year-old male approached Giuliani, slapped him in the mid-back, and said, &#8220;What&#8217;s up scumbag?,&#8221; a spokesperson from The Office of the Deputy Commissioner of Public Information told The Daily Wire.</p>
<p>Giuliani refused medical attention at the scene, and police took the attacker into custody.</p>
<p>Giuliani&#8217;s gubernatorial-candidate son, Andrew Giuliani, told <a href="https://nypost.com/2022/06/26/rudy-giuliani-attacked-inside-staten-island-shoprite/">The New York Post</a>.</p>
<p>&#8220;My dad is tough as nails.&#8221;</p>
<p>Giuliani reportedly told The New York Post the slap almost knocked him down &#8220;but regained his composure—even as his attacked kept cursing at him.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;He&#8217;s doing fine,&#8221; Andrew later said of his father, The New York Post reported. &#8220;But it&#8217;s a sad day when New Yorkers&#8217; greatest crime fighter, &#8216;America&#8217;s Mayor,&#8217; is attacked.</p>
<p>According to The New York Post, Giuliani&#8217;s said his father was in &#8220;good spirits&#8221; and claimed he &#8220;ran into the only person who is not voting for Andrew Giuliani.&#8221;</p>
<p>Giuliani&#8217;s son said he blames the left-wing for encouraging violence.</p>
<p>&#8220;This is crazy,&#8221; he told The New York Post.</p>
<p>Rudy Giuliani, the former lawyer of President Donald Trump, allegedly was posing for photos during the attack.</p>
<p>Dr. Maria Ryan, Giuliani&#8217;s partner, reportedly told The New York Post, &#8220;Rudy was assaulted.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;He&#8217;s a 78-year-old man with a bad back and bad knees,&#8221; she said.</p>
<p>One witness said the incident &#8220;stunned&#8221; her.</p>
<p>&#8220;I was shoulder-to-shoulder with Rudy inside ShopRite,&#8221; Rugova-Johnson told The New York Post. &#8220;We&#8217;re talking, and all of a sudden an employee came out of nowhere and open-handedly slapped him in the back and said, &#8216;Hey, what&#8217;s up scumbag?'&#8221;</p>
<p>The Post reportedly said law-enforcement sources the suspect will be charged with second-degree assault involving a person over age 65. However, The Office of the Deputy Commissioner of Public Information told The Daily Wire that charges remain unknown at the time.</p>
<p>The man has no prior arrests.</p>
