Larry Nassar, the former doctor of the American Gymnastics Federation, sentenced to 175 years in prison for sexually assaulting hundreds of female gymnasts, was stabbed by another inmate, the American press reported.

Larry Nassar was stabbed 10 times in prison, but is in stable condition

The Federal Bureau of Prisons confirmed that an inmate at Coleman, Florida, was assaulted Sunday afternoon, but declined to identify the inmate for privacy and security reasons.

“The staff took immediate action to save the inmate’s life,” said Benjamin O’Kone, a spokesman for the Federal Bureau of Prisons.

Emergency personnel transported the prisoner to a local hospital for medical treatment and examination.

Nassar was stabbed 10 times — twice in the neck, twice in the back and six times in the chest — but is in stable condition, according to Joe Rojas, president of the local correctional workers union.

The FBI has been notified of the incident and an internal investigation is underway, O’Kone added.

None of the other employees or inmates were injured.

Among these gymnasts were Simone Biles, Aly Raisman and McKayla MoraniOlympic gold medalists.

The lawsuits filed against Nassar rocked the world of gymnastics and American sports, leading to the resignation of several federation officials who allowed him to abuse young gymnasts for so long despite receiving numerous complaints.
