The driver was directly in front of it and was haunted to get out of it with his life.
A pretty shit bomb to be fair.

A middle eastern relgious zealotâŚchristian

Iâm afraid this does not sound good for Mr. Rushdie. The balance of probabilities to be read from various online messages makes it seem more like a stabbing than a punching.
RTĂ are reporting it as a stabbing anyway.
Any reason he was attacked?
Yeah it was fairly obvious from very early it was a stabbing. The place it happened, Chautauqua, is up in the corner of New York state towards Pennsylvannia and Ohio, near Lake Erie. A very out of the way place. Seemed to be a summer school type event. These mentallers really do pick their spots.
Rushdie was treated on stage after yer man was restrained and has been flown to hospital in an emergency medical helicopter.
There is a picture of the suspect being lagged into a squad car and he looks exactly as you would imagine him to look like.
This seems like a very serious situation and I fear it will not end well.
It sure is
This is not good news for Salman Rushdie. However, if he survives at all and can have some from of meaningful future life it would be excellent news for him in relative terms.
His attacker will not see the light of day ever again.
