MUMBAI, India (AP) — Indian Bollywood star Saif Ali Khan was stabbed in a scuffle with an intruder at his home early Thursday and underwent surgery at a hospital, media reports said.

The Mumbai police said crucial CCTV footage from a mobile shop in Dadar helped them identify the accused as Mohammad Shariful Islam Shahzad.

An intruder who attacked Saif Ali Khan in his flat at night remains untraced as police are uncertain of his escape route. He is suspected to have used the fire escape stairwell, with his image partially captured on CCTV.
