We don’t know a lot about what happened, but the woman has already recanted her story and is not cooperating with the NYPD:

She was taken for medical treatment at Roosevelt Hospital, where she told staffers that Spitzer — who quit as governor over a hooker scandal in 2008 — had choked her, sources said.

The woman has since recanted that claim and is not cooperating with cops, sources said.

To be continued.
