NYC mayoral candidate Curtis Sliwa was struck by a cab Friday as he was rushing to attend a live radio show, the Republican candidate’s sister said. Despite being struck, Sliwa managed to make it to the radio station in time and completed the hour-long segment devoted to his plans for the city. Sliwa, 67, was then transported to Lenox Hill Hospital for observation. A Sliwa campaign spokesman said that they would be postponing the remainder of the candidate’s afternoon schedule out of an abundance of caution. The accident comes just four days from when Sliwa will go head-to-head against former NYC Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams in the New York City mayoral contest to replace Bill de Blasio. A recent poll from WPIX/Emerson found that Adams is enjoying a healthy, 36-point advantage over Sliwa, 61% to 25%.
