Larry Nassar, ex-gymnastics doctor, stabbed in prison |
Larry Nassar, the former sports doctor who is serving a decades-long prison term for sexually abusing young female gymnasts, was stabbed multiple times during an altercation with another inmate Sunday. Nassar, 59, was stabbed six times in the chest and twice each in the neck and back, according to Joe Rojas, president of Local 506, the union that represents employees at the Florida prison where Nassar is incarcerated. Nassar suffered a collapsed lung but was in stable condition Monday. Rojas praised the quick thinking of staff for Nassar surviving the attack but said prison employees had been warning that something like this could occur because of staffing shortages. | Larry Nassar, who was convicted of sexually abusing female gymnasts, was stabbed multiple times during an altercation with another incarcerated person at a federal prison in Florida, the Associated Press reported.

Five days after the mercenary group's short-lived rebellion, Russian President Vladimir Putin met with Wagner leader Yevgeny Prigozhin and his commanders in Moscow, the Kremlin said Monday. The meeting lasted about three hours, adding fresh uncertainty about Prigozhin's influence with Russia's leader in the wake of the failed armed mutiny. During the meeting, Prigozhin offered an "assessment" of Wagner's actions on the battlefield in Ukraine, and Putin listened, offering "options for further employment and use in combat," a spokesman for the Kremlin said. |
