Airman Spencer Stone, 23, was stabbed in
Sacramento after he got into a fight with a group of men as he was
leaving a bar with friends, Ken Bernard, the city’s deputy chief of
police, told reporters.One of three Americans who helped thwart
a terror attack on a Paris-bound train was stabbed in his home state of
California apparently after coming to a woman’s rescue, authorities
said.He said police received a call at 12:46 am from a passerby who witnessed the incident.Bernard said officers who arrived at the scene found Stone with multiple stab wounds to his upper torso.He was rushed to a nearby hospital where he was listed in serious condition after undergoing two hours of surgery.“He is currently being treated for what
appears to be non-life threatening but very significant injuries,”
Bernard said, adding that two male Asian suspects were being sought in
connection with the attack.It was unclear if the woman was with Stone.A
source close to the investigation told AFP that Stone was apparently
trying to defend a woman being harassed by a group of men outside the
bar when an argument escalated and he got stabbed.“A woman was being harassed and he got involved,” said the source, who spoke on condition of anonymity.The source said several of those in
Stone’s group three women and another man were drunk but it was
unclear if Stone himself was inebriated.Video footage of the incident caught by a
nearby surveillance camera and released by US media shows Stone
fighting off a group of men who scatter when what appears to be a police
car arrives at the scene.A red stain can be seen spreading on Stone’s white shirt.Another surveillance video released by
police shows the two alleged suspects involved in the altercation
running and getting into a car that quickly drives off.
