(Radio Iowa) – One of the Cornell College professors attacked in China has made it back to the United States. David Zabner  (Dah-VEED Zahb-ner) was greeted by family at Cedar Rapids Airport for an emotional reunion Thursday.

Zabner was one of four educators from Cornell College in Mount Vernon who were attacked while leaving a park in China. The other three victims have not been publicly identified. Their current state of health is unknown. Zabner lives in Boston but has family in Iowa City, including a younger brother, Adam Zabner who is a state representative. Police in China say a 55-year-old man was arrested in the stabbing. The man allegedly bumped into Zabner’s group and responded by stabbing them.
