Rudy Giuliani has been hospitalized in critical condition, his spokesman said.

The spokesman, Ted Goodman, announced in a statement on social media on Sunday, May 3, that the former New York City mayor, 81, is “currently in the hospital, where he remains in critical but stable condition.”

“Mayor 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,” Goodman said.

“We do ask that you join us in prayer for America’s Mayor Rudy Giuliani,” he added.

It is unclear what led to Giuliani’s hospitalization.

In August 2025, Giuliani was seriously injured in a car accident in New Hampshire.

The former mayor’s head of security, Michael Ragusa, shared in a statement on Instagram at the time that Giuliani “was flagged down by a woman who was the victim of a domestic violence incident” and “immediately rendered assistance and contacted 911.”

“He remained on scene until responding officers arrived to ensure her safety. Following this, while traveling on the highway, Mayor Giuliani’s vehicle was struck from behind at high speed,” the statement continued.

Ragusa said the politician “was transported to a nearby trauma center, where he was diagnosed with a fractured thoracic vertebrae, multiple lacerations and contusions, as well as injuries to his left arm and lower leg.”

He added that the former Associate Attorney General was expected to be hospitalized for two or three days and would then wear a brace for his broken vertebrae.

“The mayor is in great spirits. He’s a beast. He survived 9/11,” Ragusa said at the time, referencing Giuliani’s tenure as New York City’s mayor from 1994 to 2001.
