France train attack hero Stone stabbed in California

Stone, a Sacramento native, was taken to UC Davis Medical Center, where he was listed in serious condition.

“Everybody send prayers out to the Stone family today”, Skarlatos said on Twitter.

American network NBC reported Stone was stabbed on Wednesday night.

“We haven’t had a chance to speak with Mr. Stone”, Bernard said.

Bernard says Stone was out with four other people and a fight with another group led to the stabbing near a bar.

No-one has been arrested in connection with the stabbing.

The other group consisted of two or three people who fled the scene in a gray or black Toyota Camry and had not been apprehended, Bernard said.

Sacramento Deputy Police Chief Ken Bernard told CNN Stone’s injuries were significant but not life-threatening.
