Mayor indicted in campaign finance probe. Actor Moranis suckerpunched while walking.

ROCHESTER, N. Y. » Mayor Lovely Warren was indicted Friday on charges she broke campaign finance rules and committed fraud during her reelection campaign three years ago, adding another layer of crisis in a city that has been reeling over its handling of a police killing.

Monroe County District Attorney Sandra Doorley also announced charges against Warren’s campaign treasurer, Albert Jones Jr., and the treasurer of her political action committee, Rosalind Brooks- Harris.

The indictment dramatically increases political peril for Warren, who was facing calls to resign for the city’s handling of the suffocation of Daniel Prude. The Democrat is midway through her second term as the first female and second Black mayor of Rochester, a city of more than 200,000 by Lake Ontario.

Elections officials began fielding complaints about Warren’s campaign finances in 2017, when Warren defeated two challengers in a Democratic primary prior to her reelection. In March, the state Board of Elections presented Doorley with a 35- page report “that found considerable evidence” that Warrren, Jones and Brooks- Harris may have violated the law, the prosecutor said at a news conference.

NEW YORK » Actor Rick Moranis was suckerpunched by an unknown assailant while walking Thursday on a sidewalk near New York’s Central Park, a law enforcement official said.

Surveillance video shows a man wearing a black “I ( heart) NY” sweatshirt and a backpack hitting the 67- yearold “Ghostbusters” star and knocking him to the ground about 7: 24 a. m.

The attack happened just a few blocks from the Central Park West apartment building where Moranis’ character lived in the movie.

Moranis took himself to the hospital and later went to a police station to report the incident, according to the official.

Moranis’ representative, Troy Bailey, said in a written statement Friday: “Rick Moranis was assaulted on the Upper West Side yesterday. He is fine but grateful for everyone’s thoughts and well wishes.”

Police released surveillance video of the assault in seeking the public’s help to find the attacker.
