according to the woman –who is yet to be identified but sources say is from Russia –he chocked her inside a room at the Plaza Hotel on Saturday.
The former governor has not been charged with any crime and a spokeswoman for Spitzer denied the allegations. The question remains, who is Eliot Spitzer’s Russian Assault Victim?
Police arrived at the hotel on Saturday after receiving a call from an emotionally disturbed person. Sources say she was taken at the hospital with self inflicted wounds to her wrists.
She told cops she had gotten into a verbal argument that turned physical with Eliot Spitzer –who according to CNN, is said to have showed up at the hospital.
She is said to be going back to her homeland. Other sources say they had some sort of romantic relationship and the 25-year-old Russian, intended to leave him. The theory could explain why Spitzer went berserk on her.
