Def Leppard drummer Rick Allen was violently attacked outside the Four Seasons Hotel in Fort Lauderdale Florida over the weekend.
The Daily Mail reports that 19 year old Max Edward Hartley was arrested following the incident and charged with four counts of criminal mischief, two counts of battery, and abusing an “elderly or disabled adult.”
Allen was having a smoke outside the hotel when Hartley allegedly rushed at him, knocking him to the ground. A police report confirmed that Allen hit his head on the ground and sustained injuries; a woman attempted to help him, but was also attacked multiple times by Hartley and dragged by her hair.
Hartley fled the scene, but was later caught breaking car windows near the hotel.
Love, Dr. Scott James
