Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani has been seriously injured following a car accident in New Hampshire, according to a statement released late Sunday.

The 80-year-old was reportedly assisting a domestic violence victim when the incident occurred. Local authorities said Giuliani had stopped to provide help before his vehicle was struck, causing significant injuries.

Emergency responders transported Giuliani to a nearby hospital where he is receiving treatment. His condition remains under close observation, and further details are expected to be released soon.

The shocking turn of events has drawn immediate reaction across social media, with many pointing out the irony that Giuliani — long known as “America’s Mayor” — was injured while performing an act of public service.
