Beatle Attack Suspect

As George Harrison recovered from a knife wound to his chest, the man accused of stabbing the former Beatle was sent to a psychiatric unit Friday for immediate treatment. Michael Abram, the father of two children, ages 16 and 10, was charged with the attempted murder of the reclusive guitarist and his wife of 21 years, Olivia. He appeared at Oxford Magistrates Court before being sent to the medium-security psychiatric unit at the Scott Clinic outside Liverpool. “This is an exceptional course of action, but we feel you need treatment immediately,” Magistrate Tim Pocock told Abram, 33, who appeared in court heavily bruised and with a black left eye.
