Lawrence G. Nassar, the doctor convicted of sexually abusing young female gymnasts, was stabbed multiple times in the chest, back and neck on Sunday at the federal prison in Florida where he is serving a 60-year sentence, according to three people with knowledge of the situation.

Mr. Nassar, 59, was in stable condition, conscious and responsive at a nearby hospital after he was attacked by another inmate at the Federal Correctional Complex Coleman, a sprawling prison compound in Central Florida, a senior law enforcement official said.
