An 18-year-old Indiana University student who was stabbed several times in the head in Bloomington, Ind., by an assailant who thought the victim was Chinese, is out of the hospital and recovering, as the suspect seeks an insanity defense.

After the attack, the student was rushed to an area hospital where she was treated for multiple stab wounds on her head. The student, who asked to remain anonymous out of safety concerns, has since returned home, says attorney Kathleen DeLaney, who is representing the student's family.
