NYC Housing Authority Workers Charged in Assault

Former New York Governor David Paterson, 70, and his stepson Anthony Sliwa, 20, were assaulted in Manhattan's Upper East Side while walking their dog on October 4. The attack began as a verbal altercation with a group that escalated into physical violence, resulting in injuries to both victims who were later treated at a hospital. Police have arrested two New York City Housing Authority employees, Travor Nurse, 40, and Diamond Minter, 34, who face multiple gang assault charges, including one related to attacking a victim over 65. Two juveniles, aged 12 and 13, were also arrested earlier for their involvement in the incident. Paterson expressed relief that the suspects have been apprehended and emphasized that he and Sliwa did not know their attackers prior to the incident. The NYPD continues to investigate whether additional suspects are linked to the assault.
