GREENSBORO, N.C. (WGHP) -- A Guilford County detention officer who was hospitalized after being attacked by an inmate in July left the hospital Sunday and is on his way home.

His wife, Candy Kaminsky, two daughters and granddaughter were there to greet him along with coworkers from the jail.

Candy told FOX8 in July that her husband had been unconscious, sedated and on a ventilator inside the Mose Cone Hospital Intensive Care Unit since the attack. 

Doctors said the veteran officer had surgery last month to repair multiple facial fractures

Candy said the operation reconstructed his cheekbones using two titanium plates.
