NBC reported:
Stone was out with friends when he was stabbed multiple times in the torso around 12:45 a.m. near some popular bars in downtown Sacramento, police said.
It appeared that a “verbal argument” ended up on the street and led to a physical confrontation, a Sacramento Police Department spokeswoman told NBC News.
He was not targeted because of his heroics in France, the spokeswoman said. “It appears it was happenstance,” she added.A man and a woman were questioned after the attack, NBC affiliate KCRA reported, adding they were not detained or taken into custody. Police have not released a description of the suspect, the station said.
