AI Summary:
Salman Rushdie told jurors at the trial of his alleged attacker, Hadi Matar. Matar is accused of stabbing Rushdie about 10 times with a 6-inch (15cm) blade. As he did on the trial’s opening day, Matar said, “Palestine will be free” as he was led into court. New York-based British-American Rushdie, now 77, was rescued by bystanders. Venue employee Jordan Steves told the court how he launched himself with his shoulder. Prosecutors will seek to present the case as “open and shut”. One of Matar’s lawyers said police had made assumptions about Matar. Iran denied any link to the attacker and said only that Rushdie was to blame for the incident.
