Police have launched an investigation into a "death threat" made to JK Rowling after she sent well wishes to author Salman Rushdie, who was stabbed in New York.
The Harry Potter creator shared screenshots of a message from a Twitter user who had written "don't worry you are next" in response to her tweet about Sir Salman.
Rowling, who has come under fire from campaigners over her views on gender issues, took to the social media site to reveal her disgust at the attack, and wish Rushdie well. She wrote: "Feeling very sick right now. Let him be okay".
