British police said they are investigating a report of an online threat made to JK Rowling after she reacted to the stabbing of author Salman Rushdie in New York State.

After the Harry Potter author said on Twitter she felt “very sick” after hearing the news of the stabbing and hoped Rushdie would “be OK,” a Twitter user responded by saying, “Don’t worry you are next.”
