Brad Lander: “I most certainly did not assault or lay hands on anyone.”

“Yeah, I mean, you know, so they did not bring charges yesterday, but I was informed that the case is under review. Everyone could see what happened on, you know, very clearly on live tv. I most certainly did not assault or lay hands on anyone. We'll. We'll see what happens. But I was there to stand up for the rule of law and protect New Yorkers. That's what I did yesterday, and that is what I'm going to keep doing.” (01:47–01:51)
