23-year-old American Airman, Spencer Stone, has been upgraded from critical to stable condition, after being stabbed in the chest on a Sacramento, California street. Stone was rushing to the aid of a friend who was being attacked by three males, when he was repeatedly stabbed in the chest. The UC Davis Medical Center in California released a statement on Stone's current condition revealing, "He is awake, able to get out of bed and in good spirits. He is continuing to recover. Airman Stone's family appreciates the outpouring of support."

Police in California have expressed they are not of the belief the stabbing incident that occurred in Sacramento is connected to terrorism. They are currently looking for the two men who stabbed Stone. Police revealed, "The assault does not appear to be a random act. It is believed to be related to a nightclub incident." In August, Stone was among four men awarded the the French Legion d’Honneur for helping to subdue terrorist, Ayoub El Khazzani, on a train in France.
