Spitzer Investigated Over Choking Incident

“The NYPD is investigating allegations that disgraced ex-Gov. Eliot Spitzer choked a woman during an encounter inside a room at the swanky Plaza Hotel,” the New York Post reports.

“Cops rushed to the hotel just south of Central Park after the woman — whose relationship to Spitzer is unclear — phoned 911 and said she was having a breakdown and had slashed her wrists around 8 p.m. Saturday. She was taken for medical treatment at Roosevelt Hospital, where she told staffers that Spitzer — who quit as governor over a hooker scandal in 2008 — had choked her.”
