Sacramento police
Chief Sam Somers said on Twitter that 28-year-old James Tran had
been arrested.
Tran has a gang affiliation and a previous felony arrest, a
police department spokesman said. He is being held in the
Sacramento County jail.
Stone, who along with friends Anthony Sadler and Alek Skarlatos
subdued a gunman on a high-speed train bound for Paris in
August, was stabbed in the torso several times last month in
what police described as a "nightlife-related incident" in
Sacramento's busy midtown district.
Stone was released from the hospital on Oct. 15.
Authorities have said the fight was not related to Stone's role
in the train incident in which the Americans took down a man
armed with a box-cutter, a pistol and an AK-47 assault rifle.
They received accolades for their actions from the presidents of
France and the United States.
