Col. Christopher Karns said in an email in Air Force Times. &#8220;The incident is currently under investigation by local law enforcement.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sacramento Deputy Police Chief Ken Bernard said Stone was with four other friends \u2013 one male and three females \u2013 when they got into a dispute with another group of people that culminating in Stone being stabbed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;He is currently being treated for what appears to be non-life threatening but very significant injuries,&#8221; Bernard said during a news conference on Thursday. &#8220;The assault does not appear to be a random act. It&#8217;s believed to be related to a nightclub incident.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The incident was not an act of terrorism or a hate crime, said Bernard, who repeatedly declined to answer questions about how the altercation started. Police are looking for two suspects, described as Asian men wearing white t-shirts and blue jeans who drove a gray or black Toyota Camry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Video shows two men wanted for questioning by police leaving the scene of the crime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"344\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/NPSosBjWM9E?feature=oembed\" width=\"459\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Police have not yet spoken to Stone, so they don&#8217;t know if he was drinking before the assault, said Bernard, who added that police believe &#8220;folks in his party were drinking that evening.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On Aug. 21, Stone and two friends Army Spc. Alek Skarlatos and Anthony Sadler, bravely disarmed and subdued a gunman on a train from Amsterdam to Paris. The gunman stabbed Stone about an inch-and-a-half from his carotid artery and nearly severed Stone&#8217;s thumb during the struggle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stone later told reporters that he did not hesitate to charge the gunman even though he fully expected to be killed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;I&#8217;m not going to run away,&#8221; he told reporters on Sept. 15. &#8220;I&#8217;m not going to leave everyone to die. I&#8217;d rather die trying than sit back and watch everyone get slaughtered.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"4898\" height=\"3266\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/LS-takeoff.jpg.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-42714\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/LS-takeoff.jpg.jpg 4898w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/LS-takeoff.jpg.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/LS-takeoff.jpg.jpg?resize=768,512 768w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/LS-takeoff.jpg.jpg?resize=1024,683 1024w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/LS-takeoff.jpg.jpg?resize=1536,1024 1536w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/LS-takeoff.jpg.jpg?resize=2048,1366 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 4898px) 100vw, 4898px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The AT-802L Longsword, built by Air Tractor and L3, takes off.

Stone was later awarded the Purple Heart and Airman&#8217;s Medal. Four days ago, he posted a picture on Instagram after receiving Belgium&#8217;s highest honor from that country&#8217;s prime minister.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stone will become a senior airman on Oct. 31, and he advances to staff sergeant on Nov. 1 in recognition of how he has kept his humility following all the media attention he has received.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Spencer Stone is a very special airman,&#8221; Karns said. &#8220;His story and selflessness has inspired so many people. His instinct for helping others is well chronicled. Our hope is for his speedy recovery.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A Sacramento TV station <a href=\"http:\/\/www.abc10.com\/story\/news\/local\/sacramento\/2015\/10\/08\/man-stabbed-21st-and-k-streets-sacramento\/73568246\/\">reported<\/a> that Thursday&#8217;s stabbing happened about 12:45 a.m. on a Sacramento street corner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The victim suffered &#8220;multiple stab wounds to his torso,&#8221; ABC10 Sacramento reported.
