New York police identified the suspect accused of stabbing Salman Rushdie as he was about to give a lecture at the Chautauqua Institution on Friday. The 75-year-old author was stabbed at least once in the neck and once in the abdomen, police said. A doctor who was in the audience helped care for Rushdie while they waited for EMTs to arrive.
