A friend reports that fists were flying at a fundraiser held yesterday for Nora Anderson , candidate for New York County Surrogate's Court Judge.
Here's what D. Clark MacPherson independently reported on his blog, Soho Politics :
At a fundraiser held this Saturday, Bernie Cohen, former attorney and consultant for Nora Anderson's Surrogate's Court bid - a lucrative position - apparently took a swing at Eben Bronfman, Special Assistant to D.A. Bob Morgenthau. It connected.
Bronfman, who was holding his daughter's hand at the time and was about to leave, caught the unexpected punch. Various obscenities accompanied the blow.
Apparently, Eben has been seen in the company of Anderson's opponent (Milton Tingling) and he speculates that this was the reason for Cohen's actions.
Bronfman, however, wasn't amused that he received this "show of emotion" in front of 80 people.
It's a hot July.
We have no indication whether charges will be filed.
It may be a hot July, folks, but it looks like the New York County Surrogate's race is just heating up .
