丹尼尔·吉尔(Daniel Gill)周一在斯塔滕岛(Staten Island)接受传讯时仍穿着他的ShopRite制服，他被指控犯有三级攻击、三级威胁和二级骚扰等轻罪。

根据检察官的说法，吉尔周日在查尔斯顿附近的ShopRite杂货店里打了前纽约市长鲁迪·朱利安尼的后背，然后骂了他一句脏话。

他在Gerianne Abriano法官的担保下被释放。下次开庭日期是8月17日。

据斯塔滕岛地方检察官提交的诉状称，这一巴掌导致朱利安尼“向前跌倒”，并导致“他身体的背部和左侧出现红肿和严重疼痛”。

代表吉尔的法律援助协会表示，他已经在这家商店工作了四年，无意对这位前市长造成任何身体伤害。

警方称，朱利安尼当时正在为他的儿子——纽约州长共和党候选人——进行竞选活动。

ShopRite employee who smacked Rudy Giuliani charged with assault

Daniel Gill was still wearing his ShopRite uniform when he was arraigned Monday in Staten Island on misdemeanor charges of assault in the third degree, menacing in the third degree and harassment in the second degree.

According to prosecutors, Gill called former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani an expletive after smacking him on his back inside the ShopRite grocery store, located in the Charleston neighborhood, on Sunday.

He was released on his own recognizance by Judge Gerianne Abriano. The next court date is Aug. 17.

The smack caused Giuliani “to stumble forward” and caused “redness, swelling and substantial pain to the back and left side of his body,” according to the complaint filed by the Staten Island district attorney.

The Legal Aid Society, which is representing Gill, said he has worked at the store for four years and had no intention of causing the former mayor any physical injury.

Giuliani was campaigning on behalf of his son, a Republican candidate for New York governor, police said.
