New York mayor suggests Giuliani falsely reported claim of assault in store

Eric Adams says he watched security video that undercut Rudy Giuliani's account, which led to man being charged with assault

The mayor of New York City, Eric Adams, has suggested his predecessor Rudy Giuliani be investigated for filing a false police report, after claiming he was assaulted by a heckler who clapped him on the back at a Staten Island grocery store.

Someone needs to remind former mayor Giuliani that falsely reporting a crime is a crime," Adams told reporters, saying he had watched security video that undercut Giuliani's account.
