WCBS Radio 880 AM:  “Republican New York City mayoral candidate Curtis Sliwa is being evaluated at Lenox Hill Hospital on the Upper East Side after he was struck by a yellow cab on Friday.  Sliwa was struck around noon while rushing to a live radio show at WABC, a spokesperson for the Guardian Angels founder said in a statement.

“Sliwa’s advisor, Rob Cole, told WCBS 880 that the mayoral candidate was getting out of a van near Rockefeller Center when he was struck by the cab.  Sliwa admits it was his fault and didn’t see the cabbie coming, Cole said.  The mayoral candidate made it into the studio and was able to complete his hour-long show.

“He addressed the incident during the broadcast, explaining what had happened and issuing an apology to the cab driver for the scare.  ‘There is a cab driver out there, I want to apologize to him. As I was running here to fulfill the hour that I had purchased for this exposé on Eric Adams, I was hit by the cab driver, thrust about six feet in the air right outside of 50 Rockefeller Center, where the Rockettes perform, and I have a feeling this cab driver and others thought that I was dead,’ Sliwa said.  ‘I flew in the air about six feet, scurried up, started running in order to get here in time,’ Sliwa added. ‘I just want to relieve that cab driver cause I’m sure he probably thought that he had killed me. And it was my fault. He had nothing to do with this at all as I was trying to beat the light and get to the other side before the changeover.'”
