Disgraced sports doctor Larry Nassar, who was convicted of sexually abusing female gymnasts, was stabbed during an altercation with another incarcerated person at the United States Penitentiary Coleman in Florida.
A source who first learned about the attack on Sunday evening confirmed to ESPN that Nassar was taken to the hospital after suffering multiple stab wounds.
The Associated Press first reported the attack Monday.
Two people familiar with the incident but not authorized to publicly discuss it told AP that Nassar was in stable condition Monday after being stabbed in the back and chest.
When reached by ESPN, the Federal Bureau of Prisons cited security concerns in not confirming the identity or health condition of any inmate but noted: "We can confirm on Sunday, July 9, 2023, at approximately 2:35 pm, an inmate was assaulted at the United States Penitentiary (USP) Coleman II, in Sumterville, Florida.
