Your husband seems to be suffering from RSBD or REM sleep Behavior disorder.
One of the things to do is to proactively remove any objects which might injure him during these episodes such as knifes, fors, spoons etc. It may be a little better to sleep on the floor to minimise the chances of self injury.
You will need to see a Neurologist and usually the the disorder can be treated with medications quite effectively.
Sometimes RSBD heralds the onset of another neurological disorder such as Parkinsons' - your Neurologist will be able to settle that issue upon examination.
