[joeybee12]

CBS News has reported Thursday that U.S. Airman Spencer Stone, who helped foil a terror attack on a French train this summer, is in critical condition after being "repeatedly stabbed."

Stone "has been transported to a local hospital and is currently being treated for injury," according to a statement from the U.S. Airforce. "The incident is currently under investigation by local law enforcement. He is currently in stable condition."

A defense department official also confirmed the stabbing and Stone's condition to ABC News. The stabbing reportedly took place in Sacramento, California Wednesday night, but the circumstances are still unclear.

1. Alive and in stable condition at this time....

"He is alive and in stable condition at this time," the spokesperson said. "We do not have any information as to the events preceding the incident."

Police said Stone was stabbed multiple times in the torso after a fight near some popular bars in downtown Sacramento, according to NBC affiliate KCRA.

Homicide detectives were called to the scene, the station reported, adding that a man and a woman were questioned in the attack. Police have not released a description of the suspect, the station said.

Stone, 25, tackled Morocco-born Ayooub El-Khazaani after the heavily armed terror suspect opened fire on a Paris train in August.

2. Gosh,

this guy has had a tough few months.

He's strong, so I suspect he'll recover fully and survive. Best thoughts to him.

3. Has anyone checked to see if this guy is a superhero?

Airman America needs a better body suit.
