French train attack hero Spencer Stone was stabbed in Sacramento early Thursday.
Stone was one of the three Americans who managed to take down a gunman as he opened fire on a Paris train this past August.
CBS Sacramento reports that he is in critical condition after being ‘repeatedly stabbed.’
The Air Force Times reports that he was stabbed ‘four times in the chest’ and was taken to a local hospital where he is being treated for injury.
The stabbing happened at 12:45am at the intersection of 21st and K in the city and the crime was so violent that two blocks of the street were shut down reports KCRA.
Initially police did not believe that Stone would be able to survive his injuries and began treating the case like a homicide.
A defense official told ABC that he was trying to protect a friend at the time.
The 25-year-old U.S. airman 1st class was stabbed with a box cutter when he along with Alek Skarlatos and Anthony Sadler took down Morocco-born Ayooub El-Khazaani after he opened fire in August.
He had to undergo surgery to attack part of his hand after the incident.
