The ambulance transporting convicted rapist Harvey Weinstein on Feb. 24 to Rikers Island, a prison in New York City, was rerouted to Bellevue Hospital after the 67-year-old experienced chest pains.
Weinstein, a former Hollywood producer, was convicted of third-degree rape as well as a count of criminal sexual act in the first degree earlier on Feb. 24. During the transfer to Rikers Island following the guilty verdicts, he experienced chest pains, heart palpitations, and high blood pressure, said his attorney, Donna Rotunno.
