Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani was hospitalized and in critical but stable condition on Sunday, according to his spokesperson. 
Ted Goodman said on social media that Giuliani, 81, is being treated but did not share details about what led to his hospitalization. 
“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 in a statement. 
He also asked the public to pray for Giuliani, who rose to national prominence as mayor of New York City during the Sept. 11 attacks on the World Trade Center. 
It was not immediately clear how long he has been hospitalized or where he was being treated. 
This is a developing story and may be updated.
