Acclaimed and polarizing author Salman Rushdie was stabbed in the neck while he was on stage at a convention in western New York.

Rushdie has faced death threats in the past, spent years with a bounty on his head and is hiding from Iran because of his writing. Eric Sorensen has more on the attack.
