One of the three Americans who stopped the terror attack on a French train in August, U.S. Air Force Airman Spencer Stone, was reportedly stabbed in an intersection near a Sacramento bar at approximately 1 am Thursday morning during an altercation.

Two or three men, described as Asian males in white t-shirts and blue jeans, fled the scene in a dark-colored Toyota Camry after one of the men stabbed Stone while he was with another man and three female friends, in an altercation that turned physical, then potentially lethal.

Police initially thought that Stone’s injuries would prove fatal, but doctors at UC Davis Medical Center were able to control Stone’s bleeding, but he is still reported to be in serious condition. He was stabbed four times in the chest.

Surveillance video caught the altercation on tape as the fight started and progressed to it’s violent end.

23-year-old Stone, of Carmichael, California, and his two American companions were hailed as heroes and their heroism was celebrated by both President Obama and French President Francois Hollande after their thwarting of a terror attack aboard a train bound for Paris from Amsterdam in late August. Stone was severly slashed by a boxcutter in that incident as well.
