Mr Rushdie crawled under a rock with police security in the UK in 1988 after Iran's top chief brought for his homicide over his novel, The Satanic Verses, which a few Muslims considered profane.

New York State Police said the suspect ran onto the stage and went after Mr Rushdie and a questioner at the Chautauqua Institution in western New York state.

Mr Rushdie was cut somewhere around once in the neck and in the mid-region, specialists said. He was taken to a medical clinic in Erie, Pennsylvania, by helicopter.
