Prayers for Spencer. New details have surfaced pertaining to Spencer Stone's stabbing incident. As previously reported, the Airman First Class — hailed a hero with pals Alek Skarlatos and Anthony Sadler when they thwarted a terrorist attack in France in August — was seriously injured outside a bar after a night out with four friends in Sacramento, Calif., on Thursday, Oct. 8.
According to the Los Angeles Times, Stone, 23, got into an altercation with two or three men around 12:45 a.m. near 21st and K streets early Thursday. At the time, he reportedly stepped in to defend a 24-year-old woman who was arguing with her boyfriend.
"There was a dispute that led to the altercation," Sacramento Deputy Police Chief Ken Bernard told reporters. "There were conversations, and then it continued down the block where the stabbing took place."
