The two major candidates facing off to become the city's next mayor had very different days on the trail Friday as voters prepare to head to the polls for the last full weekend of early voting. 

Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams, the Democratic mayoral nominee, held a rally at Hotel Trades Council headquarters, flanked by dozens of prominent Democrats including Governor Kathy Hochul and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer. 

"We're gonna run up the score on Tuesday and make sure that Eric Adams is the leader of the greatest city on earth," Hochul said. 

Adams made a last-minute pitch to voters, appealing to his supporters and asking them to turn out in big numbers in the general election — even as he is expected to easily win the contest, given the large amount of registered Democrats in the city. 

"I just want to tell you this, you don't win a baseball game in the 8th inning. The 9th inning is November 2," Adams said. 

Adams also secured the backing of Local 1199-SEIU United Healthcare Workers East, the largest union in New York, which had previously endorsed Maya Wiley. 

Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa was having a different kind of day. 

It started out in the Upper West Side, where Sliwa held a press conference to highlight a rise in gun crimes and school safety. He warned that a soon to take effect vaccine mandate for city workers may result in massive staff shortages. 

"As of tonight there will be less school safety officers and less police officers," Sliwa said. 

But things took a bad turn for Sliwa. Shortly after this event, he was hit by a yellow cab. The campaign tweeted he sustained minor injuries and out of an abundance of caution was being examined at Lenox Hill Hospital. 

Even after being hit, Sliwa attended a previously scheduled event. Aides for Sliwa said he suffered a broken arm and swelling on his left knee. Nancy Sliwa, his wife said Sliwa would be released from the hospital on Friday.
