Sliwa cuffed at Gracie
COPS arrested radio talk show host and Guardian Angels founder Curtis Sliwa early Tuesday outside Mayor de Blasio’s Upper East Side home.
Sliwa, 63, appeared at Gracie Mansion on East End Ave. near E. 88th St. at about 8:25 a.m. to serve de Blasio with a lawsuit aimed at getting him off the Working Families Party line.
Sliwa’s girlfriend Nancy Regula, 35, said the complaint had to be personally served on the mayor. The lawsuit also targets Public Advocate Letitia James and city Controller Scott Stringer. “The security detail didn’t want him to do it,” Regula said. “As soon as the (mayor’s) car started to come out, right away they were like ‘Move, move, move.’ They cuffed him super quick.” Sliwa (seen under arrest in photo inset) compared himself to the Tiananmen Square protester who stood in front of a tank in 1989 during the famous democracy protests, after he was released with a summons.
