Ontario man charged with assault on Oasis’ Noel Gallagher
|
TORONTO (AP) — Oasis rocker Noel Gallagher was attacked at a concert, and the alleged assailant was charged Monday.
The
British band was midway through its headlining set at the Virgin
Festival on Toronto's Olympic Island Sunday night when a man rushed the
band from the back of the stage. He pushed Gallagher, causing him to
fall on his speakers.
Security personnel quickly apprehended
Daniel Sullivan, 47, from Pickering, Ontario. Police said Monday that
he was charged with assault.
"Everyone was shocked. The fan came
out of nowhere — no one even saw him run on stage, people just saw Noel
fall and then people started yelling," said concertgoer Twyla DeMello.
The
band members promptly left the stage and the lights came on, leaving
fans confused. Minutes later, the band returned to resume its set.
The
band's Web site said Monday that Noel was taken to the hospital after
the show to be examined for a suspected fractured rib and ligament
damage.
Sullivan was released from custody on a promise to appear in court Oct. 24.
