Lamb Of God Frontman Alleges He Was Attacked By Gang

Lamb Of God frontman Randy Blythe has alleged that he was attacked by a group of men in Ireland while walking back to his hotel late Sunday night, where the band have just finished performing some shows.

The 44-year-old singer took to Instagram to tell the story in-depth, in which he claims a gang of 5-6 teenagers jumped him from behind on the streets of Dublin.

"I looked up & saw 5 or 6 teenage dudes (16 to 18 year olds?) in hoodies & track pants spreading out around me. 'Well, crap, I guess it's on' I thought. I started stepping quickly into the street away from the little cul-de-sac where I was (it was a bad spot to be trapped), trying to keep my eye on all of them at the same time."

"One kid drew up to my left getting close & BLAM- someone else hit me in the head from behind with something (I think they had a stick or whatever)- I saw stars for a second, then I heard car horns & a cabbie was driving at these kids & I was standing in the street trying to shake it off, because that little fucker had rang my bell pretty good. Like all cowards & weaklings all over the world, they came at me in numbers and struck from behind. I never even had a chance to smash one of the little shits because the cabbie (thank you, whoever you are) scattered them while I was regaining my wits."

Blyth claims the attack left him with no major injuries and that he walked away with only a split elbow and headache. 

He went on to tell his Dublin fans the incident in no way reflects how he feels about the people of the city, but that he feels sorry for his alleged attackers.

"They didn't even try to rob me, they just wanted to hurt someone, anyone - it was nothing personal for them- this makes me very SAD for these children."
