Eliot Spitzer Accused of Choking Girlfriend in NYC

According to the report by ABC, officials informed that the woman said she and Spitzer had been together at a bar at the hotel earlier Saturday evening.

Police said they are trying to "further establish the identity of the subject and the nature of the incident". Police called for an ambulance and took her to the Mount Sinai West Hospital.

A spokeswoman for Spitzer, Lisa Linden, said there was no truth to the allegation.

Spitzer was elected Governor of NY in 2006, but was forced to resign two years later, after he was linked to a prostitution operation.

It is believed Miss Travis knew Mr Spitzer for about two years.

Attorney Adam Kaufmann said he had sent the email to the Manhattan District Attorney's office. Sources told CBS2 that the alleged altercation began Saturday night because she was planning to return to her native Russian Federation.

Spitzer served as the governor of NY from 2007 to 2008 shortly after the reports about him being part of the aforementioned prostitution ring surfaced.

Cops left, but several minutes later, they returned and entered the suite after noticing blood and broken glass, according to reports. She sustained a small cut to the top of her wrist during the commotion, which prompted hotel officials to call police.

"She has indicated that any allegations of assault were false", Kaufmann said. The New York Times reported that she had claimed to emergency workers she had attempted suicide.

Spitzer's romantic life has been notably rocky these last eight years, a storminess one could plausibly attribute to what appears to be his consistently awful judgment. In 2013, Spitzer tried to get back into politics by running for New York's comptroller position, but he ultimately lost the race.
