In the good news department, Houstonian Christopher McCarthy, who was repeatedly stabbed in a shockingly random assault on a New York City subway a week ago, was released yesterday from a New York City hospital and is on his way back home to Houston. The man who assaulted McCarthy and several other subway travelers over a 12-hour period was later apprehended by NYC police.
Upon leaving the hospital, the classy 21 year-old McCarthy thanked New Yorkers for their kindness to his family and him, and expressed forgiveness for the man who attacked him. Welcome home, Chris.
