Thief attacks Saif Ali Khan with a sharp object
The intruder entered Saif Ali Khan`s house and first argued with the actor`s househelp. When Khan intervened, he was attacked with a sharp object. At the time of the incident, 4-5 people were present in the apartment. Khan was rushed to Lilavati Hospital for treatment and is reported to be out of danger. “An unidentified person intruded in the residence of Actor Saif Ali Khan. The actor and the intruder had a scuffle. The actor is injured and is being treated. An investigation is going on,” DCP Dikshit Gedam said in a statement. 
Saif sustained 6 stab wounds
Saif Ali Khan will be shifted to the deluxe suite on the VIP floor of the hospital once he is brought out of the operation theatre. The surgery went on for over two and a half hours and he is now in the recovery room with the OT. According to highly placed doctors in the hospital, Saif sustained six stab wounds caused by a sharp-edged weapon, believed to be a knife. He sustained an injury to his neck, left wrist, and chest, and a small portion of the knife got stuck to his spinal cord hence a neurosurgical intervention was required. While most of the wounds sustained are incise wounds the injury to the spine is a bit deep wound, said the doctor. Dr  Niraj Uttamani, too confirmed the findings and said both the cosmetic and neuro surgeon team did the surgery.
Saif was conscious when brought to the hospital by the police team and informed the doctors about a scuffle with an intruder who had barged into his house and had sustained injuries during the scuffle. When asked about the loss of blood or his overall health condition, the doctor said his overall parameters were better and he would be shifted to the deluxe suite in the next few hours.
