JK Rowling has received a death threat after supporting stabbed author Salman Rushdie
The Harry Potter author, 57, shared screenshots to Twitter of a message from a user who had written "don't worry you are next" in response to her tweeting that she felt "very sick" after hearing the news and hoped the novelist would "be OK".
The famous author has previously been on the receiving end of death threats for her views on transgender rights. The Indian-born British author, 75, whose writing led to death threats from Iran in the 1980s, was to deliver a lecture at the Chautauqua Institution when the incident occurred, leaving him with an apparent stab wound to the neck.
On Friday, New York state police named the suspected attacker as Hadi Matar, 24, of Fairview, New Jersey, who was taken into custody following the incident.Police identify suspect after Salman Rushdie stabbed in the neck and abdomen while on stage at New York event
