Two teens have been charged in the attack on ex-Governor David Paterson and his step-son, according to sources.
The juveniles turned themselves over to police along with their parents on Saturday night, less than 24-hours after the attack on Paterson and his step-son, Anthony Chester Sliwa, as the pair walked their dog on the Upper East Side Friday.
The alleged assailants are facing second degree assault charges, police sources say.
A third teen who spoke to cops along with the suspect was not charged as he did not attack the Sliwa or former governor, who is blind.
Paterson, 70, and Sliwa, 20, encountered the group of teens climbing a fire escape on Second Avenue near East 96th Street and were attacked when they told the youths to stop, the sources said.
A rep for Paterson’s said the group of suspects “had a previous interaction with [Paterson’s] stepson.”
