French Prez Nicolas Sarkozy hospitalised

London, Jul 27: French President Nicolas Sarkozy was rushed to hospital after he collapsed while jogging.

The 54-year-old politician was taken to Val-de-Grace Military Hospital in Paris through air ambulance, where he was joined by his wife Carla Bruni, 41. According to a spokesman for Sarkozy, he was suffering from "nervous exhaustion", reports the Daily Star.

This is the second time in two years that the French President has faced a medical emergency. In 2007, Sarkozy was secretly admitted to the same hospital when he was suffering from a high fever and a throat abscess the day after his divorce from second wife Cecilia.
