Larry Nassar, a former USA gymnastics team doctor, has been stabbed in prison, a source told ABC News.

Nassar was stabbed six times in the back and neck on Sunday afternoon, according to a source. He has what one source described as "substantial injuries," including what appears to be a collapsed lung. He is listed in stable condition, according to two sources familiar with the situation.

The Bureau of Prisons confirmed that an inmate was assaulted on Sunday at the United States Penitentiary Coleman II, a high security federal facility in Florida, and said no one else was injured.

Officials have identified at least one suspect, a fellow inmate, and are looking at evidence including video footage to determine if anyone else was involved, according to a source.

In prison for henious crimes, the one thing that cannot be tolerated, is harm to minors and young children. That is the lowest of the low.

It's just an excuse for bad guys to act like bad guys another time. Would that said prisoners had as much regard for their own families and young children. If they did, there might be fewer bad guys in prison.

I'm not surprised. Even if my prison "experience" is based on TV and movies, there's a common theme that these types of rapists and predators do not fare well in "gen-pop" or that they are not tolerated by other prisoners. Another article says he was stabbed.

This will happen again. He's 59 years old now. He'll be dead before he's 62.

Prisoners have wives and children and resent pedos and women abusers. I'm sorry he was injured.
