Michael Bay Attacked on 'Transformers 4' Set: Report

UPDATE: The man who attacked Michael was reportedly wielding an air conditioner. Michael “ducked and wrested the air conditioner from his attacker, preventing what could have been a serious accident.”

Director Michael Bay was reportedly attacked on the set of his upcoming film Transformers 4 earlier in the day while filming in Hong Kong, China, Reuters reports.

A police statement given to the publication said that two brothers approached Michael and demanded HK$100,000 ($12,900). No reason was given as to why the brothers asked for that amount from Michael.

A discussion happened, and then the older brother attacked Michael, before attacking police officers. Both brothers were arrested.

Michael sustained injuries to the right side of his face, but refused medical attention.

We send our thoughts to Michael for a speedy recovery and hope he is doing okay!
