Spencer Stone, the Sacramento man who helped thwart a terrorist attack on a Paris-bound train two months ago, was stabbed at 12:46 a.m. on Wednesday night on 21st and K Streets.
Stone was out with friends at nearby dance club Badlands. A fight broke out and poured into the street across from A&P Liquor, which caught video of the incident with its surveillance cameras. Sources say Stone was fighting off six men to protect a woman, and alcohol was definitely involved.
