LONDON (AP) -- 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 he had recovered enough to go home, a hospital spokesman said.Harrison was admitted to the hospital after the attack in the early hours of Thursday at his home at Henley-on-Thames, 25 miles west of London.
Harrison fought off his attacker, receiving slash injuries and a one-inch stab wound that collapsed his right lung. His 51-year-old wife was also 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.
