DORNBIRN, Austria, May 4 (UPI) -- A 58-year-old working on the Austrian set of "Quantum of Silence," the latest James Bond movie, has been stabbed in a domestic dispute, police say.

A police spokesman said the unidentified technician was in "critical" condition after allegedly being attacked by a woman in Dornbirn, the Mail on Sunday reported.

"The woman appears to have attacked the man with a steak knife in the bedroom," an unidentified police spokesman said.

"He suffered deep cut wounds to the head and hands, and the first policeman to arrive thought he had died as his pulse was so weak and there was so much blood."

The discovery of the wounded crew member Saturday morning marked the third unusual event involving the production of the 22nd Bond film, the Mail said.

The British newspaper said a 29-year-old crew member survived a car crash two weeks earlier in Italy and a stuntman was seriously injured six days later while filming a chase scene.
