The United States Air Force confirmed to NBC that French train attack hero Spencer Stone was in stable condition after being stabbed in Sacramento on Wednesday night. The Air Force said the incident occurred around midnight, and that Airman First Class Stone had been "repeatedly stabbed".

The US Air Force said in a statement

He is alive and in stable condition at this time. We do not have any information as to the events preceding the incident.

The 25 year-old Stone helped bring down 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 fight with El-Khazaani, and needed surgery to reattach part of his hand.
