NEW York City’s former mayor has been rushed to hospital in a critical condition.
Rudy Giuliani, 81, was honored by Donald Trump shortly after his health scare as the US president called his longtime ally “a true warrior, and the best mayor in the history of New York City”.
A statement from Rudy’s spokesperson, Ted Goodman, on Sunday night said: “Rudy Giuliani is currently in the hospital, where he remains in critical but stable condition.
“Giuliani is a fighter who has faced every challenge in his life with unwavering strength, and he’s fighting with that same level of strength as we speak.
“We do ask that you join us in prayer for America’s Mayor-Rudy Giuliani.”
Giuliani served as New York City’s mayor from 1994 to 2001.
President Donald Trump later posted on Truth Social: “Our fabulous Rudy Giuliani, a True Warrior, and the Best Mayor in the History of New York City, BY FAR, has been hospitalized, and is in critical condition.”
It comes less than a year after Rudy was seriously injured in a horror car crash.
The former mayor was involved in an accident in New Hampshire and was rushed to hospital with a fractured vertebrae and multiple injuries.
His head of security, Michael Ragusa, revealed Giuliani had stopped to help a woman before the crash.
“Mayor Giuliani was flagged down by a woman who was a victim of domestic violence prior to the accident,” he said.
“He rendered assistance and contacted 911, remaining on scene until responding officers arrived to ensure her safety.”
Ragusa explained the crash happened moments later.
“The accident occurred after he re-entered his vehicle, which was then hit from behind at high speed.”
As well as the spinal injury, Giuliani suffered cuts, bruises, and injuries to his left arm and lower leg.
He was taken to a local trauma centre, where his medical team were quickly brought in to oversee his care.
