Larry Nassar, a former American gymnastics doctor of Lebanese descent convicted of sexually abusing young athletes, was stabbed by another inmate in prison and was in stable condition on Monday, some American media reported.
The Federal Bureau of Prisons confirmed that an inmate at the United States Penitentiary in Coleman, Florida, was assaulted on Sunday afternoon, but declined to identify the prisoner for privacy and security reasons. “Staff took immediate action to save the inmate’s life,” Benjamin O’Cone, a spokesman for the office, said in a statement. “The inmate was transported by emergency personnel to a local hospital for treatment and evaluation.”

The FBI has been notified of the incident and an internal investigation is underway, O’Cone added. No other staff or inmates were injured.

He is currently in stable condition, AP and > reported.
Mr. Nassar was sentenced to up to 175 years in prison for sexually abusing young female gymnasts he had coached. These gymnasts include Olympic gold medalists Simone Biles, Aly Raisman and McKayla Maroney.
