Details of the stabbing early Thursday are unclear. A reporter for ABC 10 tweeted that police are looking for one suspect in the stabbing. There have been no arrests.
Update: The assault incident is not related to a terrorist act. Assault occurred near a bar, alcohol is believed to be a factor.
Sacramento Police did not identify the stabbing victim, but tweeted that the "assault incident" is not related to a terrorist act. The stabbing occurred in an area with a lot of bars and alcohol is believed to be a factor.
Law enforcement sources said they are working on the premise that Stone left a club with a woman who was harassed by wither one man or a group. Stone came to her aid about a block from the club, the sources said. Authorities believe Stone may have been attacked by up to six men and held down while stabbed, the sources said.
Stone, 23, a Sacramento State University senior, and two friends-- National Guardsman Alek Skarlatos and Anthony Sadler-- were on the Amsterdam-to-Paris train in late August when a gunman started to open fire. The three Americans charged the gunman and were able to eventually subdue him.

"He seemed like he was ready to fight to the end. So were we," Stone said at the time.
Stone, who was stabbed and slashed with a box cutter during the train melee, said he was waking up from a deep sleep when Skarlatos "just hit me on the shoulder and said 'Let's go.'"
Stone and Skarlatos, 22, moved in to tackle the gunman, identified as 26-year-old Moroccan Ayoub El-Khazzani, and take his assault rifle. Sadler, 23, then moved in to help subdue the assailant. "All three of us started punching" him, Stone said. Stone said he choked El-Khazzani unconscious.
Stone is also credited with saving a French-American teacher wounded in the neck with a gunshot wound and squirting blood. Stone described matter-of-factly that he "just stuck two of my fingers in his hole and found what I thought to be the artery, pushed down and the bleeding stopped." He said he kept the position until paramedics arrived.
President Obama met with the three last month, praising them for their quick thinking and courage and calling them "the very best of America." They were also awarded France's highest honor by President Francois Hollande. The three appeared on late-night talk shows and received a hometown parade in their honor.
