How Ray’s Candy Store owner saved Curtis Sliwa
Alvarez was already a neighborhood fixture and about 60 years old when he yelled at three men beating Sliwa outside the Angels leader’s apartment 30 years ago, distracting them long enough for the wounded crime-fighter to get up and scramble to safety in Tompkins Square Park.“Most anybody else would have hid,” Sliwa said. “They wouldn’t have come out and confronted the guys.
“They had soda. They wanted to sell it to me,” Alvarez later recalled. “I said no. One punched my head and my chest. One handed [the soda] to the other guy [and said], ‘Hold this, I’m going to kill this guy.’ “I couldn’t believe it.”
