Two adults were arrested Monday for the Upper East Side gang attack on former Gov. Paterson and his stepson, police sources said.
The arrests of the 40-year-old man and 34-year-old woman follow the arrests of two boys, just 12 and 13, who surrendered to police with their parents Saturday night. Charges against the man and woman were pending Monday.
Paterson, 70, who is legally blind, and his 20-year-old stepson Anthony Sliwa — the son of Guardian Angels founder and former mayoral candidate Curtis Sliwa — were walking on Second Ave. about 8:30 p.m. Friday when the group confronted them near E. 97th St., cops said.
They argued, and a woman confronted his stepson, then threw the first punch, the former governor said.
“This just wasn’t an incident involving young people who were getting out of hand,” said Paterson.
The boys’ names have not released by cops because they are underage. They were charged with gang assault.
