Train hero Spencer Stone stabbed in Sacramento

October 09, 2015 03:03

Just weeks ago, US Airman 1st Class Spencer Stone was tending to stab wounds after famously helping thwart a gun attack on a European train, feted internationally as a hero.

On Thursday he was in serious condition at a California hospital, having been stabbed again -- this time during a night out with friends in an altercation for which he faces no criminal blame, officials say.

Surveillance video shows 30 seconds of high drama and raw violence in midtown Sacramento before 1 am Thursday.

What starts with a few punches thrown on a dark street corner quickly spills into the street. Five or six men are in the middle of it all pushing, shoving and trading blows.

One man falls to the ground at one point, only to quickly bounce back. Eventually, the two sparring sides go their separate ways.

Stone was one of those who walked away. But he did so with multiple stab wounds, Sacramento Deputy Police Chief Ken Bernard told reporters.
