Author Salman Rushdie has been injured after being punched and stabbed on stage ahead of a speech he was due to give in Chautauqua, near Buffalo. The writer, 75, was attacked as he was being introduced to the stage.
The Satanic Verses author will give his first in-depth interview on the attack. Rushdie, 76, was viciously knifed in New York by an alleged religious extremistSir Salman Rushdie is set to give his first full-scale TV interview since cheating death following a savage knife attack in New York almost two years ago.
Mr Yentob, a long-term friend of the scribe, says the interview continues Rushdie's ongoing of defiance against those who want him dead. Speaking at the Broadcasting Press Guild Awards, at London's Royal Horseguards Hotel, he said: 'I am good friends with Salman. He is a strong character. He is adamant that he wants to keep going.'
After the order was issued, he spent much of his time in Britain at a fortified safe house equipped with bulletproof glass, bombproof curtains and lodging for six plain-clothes officers, each armed with a handgun. In 2000, Rushdie relocated to the US following several threats to his life - and in 2022, as he prepared to give a lecture at the Chautauqua Institution in New York, Hatar lunged at him with a knife, dealing irreversible damage.
Sir Salman said it was a 'great honor' to be recognized for a 'lifetime' of work and described Princess Anne as 'very generous' as he was made a Servant of the Companions of Honour
