Law & Order:SVU star Mariska Hargitay was rushed to a New York City hospital her rep confirms.
"Mariska Hargitay went to the hospital this morning after experiencing some discomfort relating to her earlier lung condition," her rep says. "She is undergoing routine tests and expects to be feeling better soon."
According to a permit filed with the NYC "Mayor's Office of Film, Theatre and Broadcasting," and obtained by RadarOnline.com, the show was due to shoot exterior scenes today in Harlem outside a brownstone, bodega and alley. There was no immediate word on how Mariska's absence would affect the shooting of those specific scenes though her rep maintains "production will not be affected."
In January, the Emmy winner was hospitalized and had surgery for a partially collapsed lung and returned to work shortly after.
The causes for her condition have yet to be released
