Two boys have been arrested for attacking former New York Gov. David Paterson and his stepson on the Upper East Side.

The boys, ages 12 and 13, were charged with gang assault after turning themselves in at a police precinct with their parents. A third child also turned themselves in but was not charged after officers determined he was not involved.

The former governor and his stepson, Anthony Sliwa, were attacked while taking a walk around the block near their home after several individuals had a previous interaction with Sliwa. Police said following a verbal altercation, five suspects struck both victims in the face and about the body.
