Acclaimed author Salman Rushdie has been taken off a ventilator and continues to recover after being repeatedly stabbed during an attack on stage in West New York on Friday that left him hospitalized.<\/p>\n

“He is off the ventilator, so the road to recovery has begun,” said Rushdie’s agent, Andrew Wylie. <\/p>\n

“It will be long, the injuries are serious. But his condition is going in the right direction.”<\/p>\n

The 75-year-old award-winning author – whose writings have drawn death threats for decades – remains in critical condition, according to a family statement released overnight by his son, but was able to “say a few words” on Saturday. .<\/p>\n

Rushdie was preparing to give a lecture at the Chautauqua Institution on Friday when a man jumped on stage and stabbed him in several places, including the neck and stomach.<\/p>\n

Staff members and guests rushed the stage and restrained the suspect, identified as Hadi Matar, 24, of Fairview, New Jersey, before a state trooper assigned to the event took him into custody, according to New York State Police. .<\/p>\n
