NEW YORK — Mayor Eric Adams stepped up his assertion that former Mayor Rudy Giuliani falsely reported a crime, likening Giuliani’s recent assault allegations to the notorious “Central Park Karen” saga in which a white woman accused a black man of threatening her and was later charged with filing a false police report.
“Just as we’ve done in other cases (like) where the Karen incident happened in Central Park and other incidents, I believe the DA should look at that when determining what the final outcomes is,” Adams said Wednesday.
A day earlier, Adams suggested that Giuliani falsely reported a crime when he accused Staten Island supermarket worker Daniel Gill of hitting him with the intent of knocking him down. Video of the incident depicts Gill patting the former mayor on the back at the ShopRite he worked at while Giuliani was there campaigning for his son, Andrew, who ultimately lost in his bid to run for governor in November’s general election.
