US airman who helped foil Paris train terror attack in hospital after stabbing

One of the Americans who overpowered a gunman on a Paris-bound train this summer has been stabbed repeatedly in California.

US airman Spencer Stone, who helped subdue an attacker on a French train in August, is in a stable condition after being stabbed in California, a US air force spokesman said.

Mr Stone is being treated in a hospital in the Sacramento area, said Lt Col Christopher Karns, who added that details are sketchy.
