Acting as both the Republican mayoral nominee and head of the Guardian Angels, Curtis Sliwa condemned a recent act of gun violence in Manhattan Valley while vowing to send his liege of volunteer patrollers to the neighborhood.
Sliwa spoke on Aug. 31 in front of a nail salon near the corner of West 105th Street and Columbus Avenue, not too far from where two men had been shot and wounded the previous evening.
Police sources said a 45-year-old man took a bullet to his chest and an 81-year-old man had been shot in the right foot while standing in front of the location at about 6:36 p.m. on Aug. 30. EMS rushed both victims to Mount Sinai St. Luke’s Hospital, where they are recovering from their injuries.
