Michael Grimm in 2018Former New York Rep. Michael Grimm, who resigned amid scandal in 2015 and went on to become a host on Newsmax, is reportedly paralyzed following a horseback riding accident.
According to CBS News, Grimm, 54, was thrown from his horse in September during a polo match and left paralyzed from the chest down. After the accident, he was hospitalized at Westchester Medical Center in Valhalla, N.Y., The New York Times reported.
He is currently being treated at the Kessler Institute for Rehabilitation in New Jersey — the same place the late Christopher Reeve was taken care of following a similar accident in an equestrian competition in 1995.

Grimm's Newsmax colleague, Greg Kelly, initially mentioned his injury on The Greg Kelly Show podcast on Sept. 23. "He’s a great horseman, he was actually playing polo. He was thrown from the horse and seriously damaged his neck." Kelly said, asking his listeners to say a prayer.
"If there is anybody that can show the strength and fortitude and will to ensure his full recovery, it’s Michael Grimm," said Vincent Ignizio, Grimm's friend and a former New York City Council member, per the New York Times. "He’s a tough Marine and a tough patriot, and we are all just praying."
