First he was forced to quit his job as New York governor after spending a rumored $15,000 on hookers, then he lost his marriage after an affair with a spin doctor 23 years his junior was exposed.
Now disgraced Democrat Eliot Spitzer, 56, is being investigated by police over claims that he choked a woman in a $1,000-a-night suite at the Plaza Hotel near New York's Central Park.
According to police sources who spoke to the New York Post, Svetlana Travis called cops at 8pm on Saturday to say she was having a breakdown and had slashed her wrists.
She then smashed a glass, slashed her wrists and called 911 to ask for medical help, it is reported. When cops arrived they searched Spitzer's room before seeing the broken glass and blood, at which point Travis was taken to hospital.
The politician's relationship to Travis unclear, but she allegedly claimed to be his girlfriend.
After her second interview at the hospital, Travis reportedly stopped cooperating with investigators and may have even left the country already.
'She’s totally uncooperative and said that she was leaving and did not want to press any charges,' a source told the Post.
The NYPD continues to investigate the incident nonetheless.
Spitzer, the multi-millionaire son of real estate tycoon Bernard Spitzer, studied at Princeton before graduating Harvard Law school and going on to become a lawyer.
While at Harvard he met his former wife, Silda, who he has three children with.
After graduating Spitzer then went on to make a name for himself as the 'Sheriff of Wall Street' by chasing down corrupt financiers, and was even considered as presidential material.
