Saif Ali Khan stabbed: Son Ibrahim rushed bleeding actor to hospital in auto-rickshaw

Hours after Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan was injured on Thursday after an intruder attacked him with a knife at his Bandra home in Mumbai, more details about the incident have surfaced. According to an NDTV report, his elder son Ibrahim took the injured actor to Lilavati Hospital in an auto-rickshaw.

When Ibrahim realised that no car was ready to leave, Saif Ali Khan's 24-year-old son helped his injured father board the three-wheeler and rushed him to Lilavati Hospital, which is approximately two kilometres away from Saif's Bandra home.

The video also showed actor Kareena Kapoor Khan standing next to the auto-rickshaw driver and speaking to the house staff.

Is Saif Ali Khan safe now?

The Bollywood actor was stabbed six times by a burglar who entered his Bandra house at around 2.30 am on January 16. He is reportedly out of danger.

Lilavati CEO Dr Niraj Uttamani told HT, “Saif Ali Khan was brought to Lilavati at 3.30 am. He has six stab wounds. Two of them deep. A team of doctors is operating on him.”

"One of the injuries is closer to his spine ... We will be able to tell the extent of the damage only after surgery. A neurosurgeon is involved in the surgery," HT quoted the official as saying.

The wrist wound is also deep. It's on the left hand and requires a plastic surgeon to repair it, he added.

A doctor at Leelavati Hospital, who sought anonymity, told HT that the doctors found a piece of knife in the body and they are still examining the extent of damage. However, the actor is able to move his limbs, which shows that the spine is not affected.

Speaking about the attack, Saif's team said, “There was an attempted burglary at Saif Ali Khan's residence. He is currently in hospital undergoing surgery.”
