Two Teens Arrested In NYC Attack Of Ex NY Gov Paterson, Who Is Blind, And Stepson

Two teens have been charged in the attack Friday on ex-Governor David Paterson and his stepson, according to several news reports

The juveniles turned themselves over to police along with their parents at the 23rd Precinct on Saturday night, less than 24 hours after the attack on Paterson and his step-son, Anthony Chester Sliwa, as the pair walked their dog on the Upper East Side Friday.

The alleged assailants are facing second-degree assault charges, police sources say.

A third teen who spoke to cops along with the suspect was not charged as it was determined he did not attack the Sliwa or former governor, who is legally blind.

Paterson, 70, and Sliwa, 20, encountered the group of teens climbing a fire escape on Second Avenue near East 96th Street.

Sliwa admonished the teens out of fear for their safety and that of others, according to Paterson.
