Corey Feldman claims he was stabbed multiple times on Tuesday evening by an unknown assailant, a spokesman for the LAPD confirmed to Variety.
The “Goonies” star is in stable condition after going to a local hospital. The police spokesperson said there was no laceration to Feldman’s abdomen or any additional injuries. The department does not have a suspect description, nor has it determined what weapon was used in the attack. An investigation is ongoing.
Feldman later tweeted images of himself in a hospital bed and claimed that he was targeted by a “wolfpack.” The child star of such films as “Stand By Me” and “The Lost Boys” has been outspoken in his claims that there is a long-standing pedophile ring involving powerful Hollywood men. He says he and his friend Corey Haim were both molested by industry figures when they were young actors. Haim died in 2010 at age 38. Last November, the LAPD ended an investigation into the allegations, saying the incident was outside the statute of limitations.

“I have had mounting threats on all [social media] platforms by this vile ‘wolfpack’ & I’m this I’m sure is a result of those negative actions,” he wrote. “I have reason 2 believe it’s all connected! Enough is enough! How sick r these ppl?!?”
Feldman’s car was stopped at a red light at 10:45 p.m., a police spokesman said, when someone opened the door and made “a stabbing motion with an unknown object.” On Twitter, Feldman said he was in the car with his security when three men approached. One opened his door and stabbed him, the actor claims.
“Please say prayers 4 us,” Feldman tweeted.

The curious case of Corey Feldman’s stabbing report has taken an interesting turn.
The former child actor said late Tuesday that he was in the hospital after being attacked that evening. In early morning Wednesday tweets, Feldman wrote that a man had opened his car door and stabbed him with something. He even included photos of himself being treated at the hospital.
But according to the Los Angeles Police Department, there are “no lacerations to Mr. Feldman’s abdomen,” spokesman Luis Garcia said.

Police received a call around 10:45 p.m. Tuesday reporting an assault with a deadly weapon. Feldman told police that he was driving his car with a passenger and was stopped at a red light at the intersection of Reseda and Ventura boulevards when “someone, an unknown person, opened his driver side door and jabbed at his abdomen with an unknown object,” Garcia said.
Feldman then took himself to the hospital, where he was treated and released, according to police.
While Feldman said he was stabbed with a sharp object, police know of no injuries and have no suspect or weapon descriptions.
Feldman didn’t tweet what he had been stabbed with but wrote — in all caps — that he was in his car with his “security” when three men approached the vehicle. “While security was distracted,” he wrote, a man “pulled up & attacked! I’m OK!”
Police were investigating “the case as an attempted homicide!” he continued. He also tweeted that he has received “mounting threats” on his social media platforms from a group he called the “wolfpack” and that he believes the attack is connected.

I HAVE REASON 2 BELIEVE ITS ALL CONNECTED! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! HOW SICK R THESE PPL?!? — Corey Feldman (@Corey_Feldman) March 28, 2018
He followed up with tweets containing links to articles picking up on his report, such as “Corey Feldman stabbed by knife-wielding thug in frenzied attempted murder attack.”

Feldman has alleged that he and others were sexually abused when they were child actors by those in the entertainment industry. When the revelations around powerful Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein first came to light in October, Feldman announced that he was going to name names. But he received criticism after he said he needed to first raise $10 million to finance a film that would be the “most honest and true depiction of child abuse ever portrayed.” He eventually publicly accused two men.
A month later, the LAPD announced that it was no longer investigating an assault report that Feldman had filed with the department because the statute of limitations had expired.
