LONDON (AP) -- Former Beatle George Harrison was hospitalized after being
stabbed in the chest Thursday by an intruder who broke into his Oxfordshire
mansion, according to his spokesman.

Harrison, 56, and his wife, Olivia, were stabbed when an intruder broke into
the house about 3:30 a.m. (0330 GMT) in Henley on Thames, about 25 miles (40
kms) west of London, said the spokesman, Geoff Baker.

Both were hospitalized, with their condition "stable but in pain," he said.

Thames Valley police said they were questioning a man in connection with the
attack at the palatial Harrison estate, called Friar Park.

Press Association, the British news agency, said Harrison and his wife
grappled with the intruder, believed to be a 33-year-old Liverpool man, and
that they apparently were able to detain him until police arrived.

The Harrisons have lived at Friar Park, a former nunnery close to the center
of historic Henley, for more than 20 years.

Security at the walled estate is tight, and it was unclear how the man
managed to enter the house.
