Fox News
Salmon Rushdie's agent says the author has lost eyesight in one of his eyes and use of one hand following a brutal attack in New York, which took place in August 2022.
"[His wounds] were profound, but he’s [also] lost the sight of one eye ... He had three serious wounds in his neck. One hand is incapacitated because the nerves in his arm were cut. And he has about 15 more wounds in his chest and torso. So, it was a brutal attack," Andrew Wylie said.

Wylie would not say if Rushdie was still recovering in the hospital, rather noting the importance of the fact he is going to live.
