Harvey Weinstein has been taken to hospital days after being moved to a New York jail.
The 72-year-old's health woe comes days after a court ordered a new trial over his 2020 conviction for rape.
Despite the court's decision, Weinstein remains in jail because he was convicted in 2022 of another rape in Los Angeles.
His lawyer announced his hospital stint on Saturday evening soon after Weinstein was moved to the jail. He was rushed to Bellevue Hospital in Manhattan.

Lawyer Arthur Aidala said: "They examined him and sent him to Bellevue.
"It seems like he needs a lot of help, physically. He's got a lot of problems. He's getting all kinds of tests.
"He's somewhat of a train wreck health-wise," Weinstein's lawyer added,
According to the Mirror, a spokesperson with the New York City Department of Correction, Frank Dwyer, would only confirm that Weinstein remains in custody at Bellevue.
Meanwhile, Thomas Mailey, a spokesperson for the Department of Corrections and Community Supervision, said Weinstein was turned over to the city's Department of Correction pursuant to the appeals ruling.
