Hillary Clinton was briefly hospitalized in India after she suffered a minor injury at her hotel, a hospital official said Friday.
Suresh Goyal, chief executive of the private Goyal Hospital in the northwestern city of Jodhpur, told the Associated Press that Clinton arrived at the hospital early Wednesday and stayed for about 20 minutes. He declined to say what the injury was.
The AFP news agency said Clinton fractured her wrist and cited local and international media reports that she slipped in a bathtub at Umaid Bhawan — a former palace that‘s now a luxury hotel. The incident comes five months after Clinton, 70, broke her toe while running down some stairs in London.
The former Democratic presidential candidate and secretary of State is in India to promote her book, What Happened, about losing the 2016 election to Donald Trump.
A video widely shared on social media appears to show Clinton gingerly coming down the steps of a 13th century palace in central India with the help of two men. She loses her balance, and then recovers and kicks off her shoes.
Clinton wore a scarf over her right arm and hand Thursday as she saw the sights in the famed “pink” city of Jaipur, the capital of Rajasthan state.
