Man found guilty of attempted ******* and assault

A man accused of stabbing and trying to kill renowned British-Indian author Sir Salman Rushdie in New York has been found guilty of attempted ******* and assault, US media report.

Hadi Matar, a 27-year-old man from New Jersey, now faces a potential sentence of more than 30 years in prison.

Sir Salman survived the attack, but the injuries resulted in damage to his liver, lost vision in one eye and a paralysed hand caused by nerve damage to his arm.

The jury’s guilty verdict came after a two week trial in Chautauqua County Court in western New York state, near where Matar stabbed Rushdie in August 2022 as he was delivering a lecture.
