This Was The Heartbreaking Moment A Homeless Man Desperate For Help Interrupted A Curtis Sliwa Event

New York City Republican mayoral nominee Curtis Sliwa shared a video of himself consoling a homeless man with emotional and mental health issues at a campaign event this week.

"Yo, what's up, man?" Sliwa said to the man, named Jamal, who approached Sliwa's press conference outside Penn Station on Wednesday.

The man, who was shirtless, told Sliwa he had lived in the area for six years and been hospitalized "a lot of times" and is supposed to be on medication.

"Would you rather be somewhere else than Penn Station," Sliwa asked Jamal, after telling a police officer who tried to intervene that he had the situation handled.
