French Train Attack Hero Spencer Stone Stabbed
Spencer Stone, one of three Americans who helped foil a terror attack on a French train, was stabbed in Sacramento on Wednesday night, the U.S. Air Force confirmed to NBC News.
Airman First Class Stone was in stable condition on Thursday, an Air Force spokesperson said.
"He is alive and in stable condition at this time," the spokesperson said. "We do not have any information as to the events preceding the incident."
Stone, 25, tackled Morocco-born Ayooub El-Khazaani after the heavily armed terror suspect opened fire on a Paris train in August.
Stone was stabbed with a box cutter during the bloody struggle with El-Khazaani, and needed surgery to reattach part of his hand. He receivedFrance's highest award, the Legion d'Honneur, along with childhood friends Alek Skarlatos and Anthony Sadler, for his selfless actions.
