Andrew Giuliani Hit in Face With a Flower Pot in NYC

New York gubernatorial candidate Andrew Giuliani (R) was hit in the face with a flower pot after intervening in a fight he witnessed near Penn Station. Giuliani, the son of former NYC mayor Rudy Giuliani, told the New York Post that he saw a violent confrontation last Saturday as he was walking to a meeting with the president of the New York Young Republicans.

“I got between the two of them,” Giuliani told the Post. “He had a flower pot. I think it was intended for her but it hit me on the left side of the face. Thankfully it was a plastic pot and not a clay pot. The soil mostly hit me. But I wan’t expecting it. It was a little bit of a shock.”

According to Giuliani, he heard the woman scream “you leave me no money bitch” and the man threaten to “beat the shit” out of him when he started calling 911.

A police report was filed but no arrests have been made, an NYPD spokesperson told the Post.

Smacks of a desperate (and poorly executed) PR ploy.

I'm afraid he'd get slammed with it. It'd be a clay pot though.

Should be street cameras nearby that would show something.
