A 24-year-old man has been charged with attempted murder in Friday's stabbing attack of Salman Rushdie, the Indian-born author who received death threats from Iran in the 1980s.
The world-renowned author was attending a lecture series at the Chautauqua Institution as a guest speaker when the incident occurred. According to a police statement, a male suspect charged the stage and attacked Rushdie and an interviewer at approximately 11 a.m. ET. The suspect was immediately taken into custody.
Reese is the co-founder of City of Asylum, a residency program for writers in exile, and was on stage with Rushdie during the attack.
