Someone broke into George Harrion’s flat last night; Mr. Harrison saw and confronted the intruder, and during the scuffle Mr. Harrison was stabbed in the chest.
Mr. Harrison is doing fine in a London hospital; he suffered a collapsed lung, but doctors expect him to recover completely and be released within a few days.
The intruder was captured, and is currently being questioned.
Mrs. Harrison suffered slight cuts and bruises as well.
Best wishes of recovery to the two of them, from a longtime fan.

Still a bit stunned myself; when my husband told me I said “George WHO?” thinking surely I misheard him (“Did you mean to say ‘George HAMILTON?’”) Who would want to stab George Harrison? I guess it was being treated as a failed robbery attempt at first, but according to MSNBC George feels that was not the case, that’s the most info I have now.
By the way, I think you meant to say “castle-like fortress,” not “flat!” LOL
It’s good to hear that the Harrisons are apparently OK. And I’m really glad they nabbed the guy who did it; I was afraid I might have to ask y’all to call me dave_clark_5 for a little while.
Apparently this guy knew exactly who he was after – the news said something about how he was babbling about the Beatles being witches or something evil, and having to kill them.
Glad they got better gun control in London than we do here, or we’d be mourning a dead George Harrison today.
