Def Leppard’s one-armed drummer Rick Allen was attacked Monday by an apparent stranger outside the Four Seasons Hotel in Fort Lauderdale Beach, Florida, with police saying Allen suffered a head injury after a teenager charged at the unsuspecting drummer and knocked him backwards onto the ground.
Nineteen-year-old Max Edward Hartley, an Ohio resident visiting Florida and reportedly on Spring Break, was arrested and charged with two counts of battery, four counts of criminal mischief, and abusing an elderly or disabled adult.
According to a Fort Lauderdale Police report, the 59-year-old Allen was smoking a cigarette outside the hotel when Hartley, who’d been hiding behind a pole, charged toward Allen “at a full run” and knocked him backwards to the ground.
Allen struck his head on the pavement in the fall. Police say a woman came out of the hotel to help Allen after seeing the incident, and was knocked to the ground by Hartley, who then grabbed the woman’s hair and dragged her back inside the hotel.
