Video Shows Spencer Stone Stabbing Suspects in Sacramento
Stone, 23, was taken to UC Davis Medical Center. They said there is no known motive for the dispute, which appears to have started in a bar and spilled out into the street.
Kirk adds: “I suspect given his history of recent events he is quite a fighter”. He says Stone is being treated in a hospital in the Sacramento area.
Security camera recordings from a nearby liquor store captured the altercation and was turned over to police.
Mr Stone said: “I turned around and he (the gunman) appeared to have what looked like a AK-47”.
His white collared shirt is covered with blood on his left side. “They all kind of dispersed after that”, he said.
Stone suffered deep slash wounds as he helped to overpower a heavily-armed gunman, 25-year-old Moroccan Ayoub El Khazzani, on August 21.
Bernard said police also did not believe it was a bias attack or something involving bar staff. Midtown is home to several bars and nightclubs.
Authorities said they have still been unable to speak to Stone.
Less than two months after being presented with the Legion of Honour medal in France, Mr Stone was in hospital after being knifed on Wednesday night.

On Thursday, Skarlatos on Twitter called for prayers for Stone.
