Tahaa Elmogahzy, 28, who fled the scene and was later arrested, faces charges including first-degree attempted murder. Despite his injuries, Walker has been undergoing physical therapy and managed to leg press 300 pounds seven months after the attack. The family started a golf tournament called the Dan Walker Classic to support his rehabilitation costs.

Story summary
In February 2025, Dan Walker, then 30 years old, was dining with his wife and friends at the Raccoon Taproom in Collingswood, New Jersey, when he was attacked by an assailant. The attacker, identified as Tahaa Elmogahzy, aged 28, entered the restaurant and began harassing customers before targeting Walker just as they were about to leave. Elmogahzy stabbed Walker in the back, severing his spine, leaving him paralyzed from the chest down. Following the attack, Walker underwent multiple surgeries over the summer, including stays in intensive care and battling infections. Next Friday, at 31 years old, he will have screws removed from his left leg and undergo a total hip replacement. Elmogahzy faces charges of first-degree attempted murder and remains in county jail awaiting trial.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political
question, so it has no leaning score. That is an
answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly
or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it
anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political
position.
