Former NY Gov Paterson, who is blind, stepson attacked while walking dog in NYC

Former New York Democratic Gov. David Paterson and his stepson were reportedly attacked while out walking their dog.

Paterson and his stepson, 20-year-old Anthony Chester Sliwa, were walking their dog on the Upper East Side Friday evening, according to Paterson’s spokesperson.

They saw several young people who they thought might be teenagers climbing up a fire escape a little before 9 p.m.

Sliwa and Paterson told them to stop, resulting in their being attacked, according to an exclusive report from the New York Post.
