Author Salman Rushdie has been injured after being punched and stabbed on stage ahead of a speech he was due to give in Chautauqua, near Buffalo.
The writer, 75, was attacked as he was being introduced to the stage for the CHQ 2022 event before giving a lecture on Friday morning.
He was attending for a discussion of the United States as asylum for writers and other artists in exile and as a home for freedom of creative expression.
Rushdie has previously received death threats for his writing, with his book the Satanic Verses sparking protests in 1988
Witnesses claimed that he managed to walk off stage with assistance and the attacker is reportedly in custody.

They found him because he assumed the obvious alias Sal Bass.

I saw him about 3-4 years ago when he was discussing Quichotte. It was in a church and there wasn't any real visible security. He didn't do a signing so there wasn't face-to-face, but it didn't seem like there was much to prevent someone from doing what this perpetrator ended up doing.

He got a fatwa for writing an unreadable book. He was stabbed for being a bad writer.
Really hope he is OK

“Trump will go on trial in November accused of racketeering, and again in December accused of child rape,” Rushdie wrote. “Oh, but let’s talk about some emails Hillary didn’t send ... ”
“Come on, America,” the author concluded, “Focus.”
