Saif Ali Khan is safe after stabbing incident at Mumbai home

17 Jan - In a shocking incident that occurred in the early morning hours of 16 January, actor Saif Ali Khan was attacked during a failed burglary attempt at his residence in the western Mumbai suburb of Bandra. The actor sustained multiple stab wounds but is now reported to be out of danger following emergency surgery.

According to neurosurgeon Dr. Nitin Dange, Saif suffered a major injury to his thoracic spine where a knife had become lodged. "A surgery was performed to remove the knife and repair the leaking spinal fluid. Additionally, two deep wounds on his left hand and the right side of his neck were repaired by the plastic surgery team," Dr. Dange explained.

The surgery at Lilavati Hospital has been confirmed successful by hospital representatives, and Saif has been transferred to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) before an eventual move to a regular ward. Reports indicate that the actor was stabbed six times during the attempted burglary. A female staff member was also injured in the attack but has since been discharged from the hospital.
