Harrison Released From Hospital
Former Beatle George Harrison has been discharged from a hospital where he was treated for stab wounds inflicted by an attacker who broke into his home.
Harrison, 56, who received a serious knife wound to the chest, left Harefield Hospital in west London Saturday night with his wife, Olivia, after a surgeon determined that he had recovered enough to go home, a hospital spokesman said Sunday.
Harrison was admitted to the hospital after the predawn attack Thursday at his home in Henley on Thames, 25 miles west of London.
In fighting off his attacker, Harrison was slashed, and an inch-deep wound collapsed his right lung. His 51-year-old wife was scratched and bruised in the incident.
Michael Abram, 33, was charged Friday with attempted murder in the attack on the reclusive guitarist and his wife. Abram has been admitted to a psychiatric unit for observation. His next court appearance is set for Feb. 11.
