On Friday nights, past New York government David Paterson and his son were attacked while walking their dog in Manhattan’s Upper East Side. The trio, aged 70 and 20 between, encountered a group of younger suspects allegedly climbing a fire exit.
Paterson and his son confronted the party, urging them to cease their pranks, according to law enforcement sources cited by the New York Post. But, as they turned to walk away, the situation escalated, and the defendants launched an attack.
According to NBC information,” Governor Paterson and his son were attacked this night while taking a walk around the block near their house by some people who had previously had an interaction with his son,” according to Paterson’s director Sean Darcy.
During the encounter, both Paterson and his son suffered injury. According to reports, Paterson sustained a head injury while his son sustained a more significant facial wound. Despite the accidents, the trio managed to fight off their attackers.
Both people sought medical attention at a nearby doctor as a precautionary measure following the attack.
As the 55th commander governor of New York, David Paterson served. Following Spitzer’s departure in March 2008 due to a prostitution controversy, he resigned as governor and decided not to run for governor again in 2010.
