Jason London claims he was the victim – not the instigator -- of a brutal attack at an Arizona bar on Sunday. According to a statement from the actor’s rep, London has injuries that are “consistent with a brutal attack with deliberately and expertly aimed landed shots to the head which, according to eyewitnesses, continued even after he was unconscious.”
The incident occurred early Sunday after London allegedly punched a man at Martini Ranch in Scottsdale. A police report states London attacked bouncers as they tried to remove him from the bar, but London’s rep claims it was the four bouncers that used unnecessary “excessive force.”
“Bars are institutions where there are drunk people who are sometimes inappropriate and even violent. It is the bouncers' job to remove the problem and if it is necessary, to use force in order to secure the safety of the establishment and patrons. It is not acceptable to retaliate with brutality once that has been accomplished,” says London’s rep.
The rep admits that details surrounding the start of incident remain unclear. "In the midst of having a good time, Jason does remember one of the guys saying something about Jason looking at his friend's girl wrong and grabbing and dragging him. The next thing Jason remembers was coming to with the cops arresting him," the rep says.
"The details of the events leading up to the incident are still being worked out with the help of many eyewitness testimonies; people who were there with Jason for the duration of the evening and with the recollection Jason does have,” adds the rep. “We will undoubtedly get to the bottom of the specifics. Neither Jason nor any of the witnesses we have spoken to have any recollection of anything even feeling like it was going south.”
The rep did not address claims London, 40, purposely defecated in a police car after his arrest for assault and disorderly conduct.
Meanwhile, London is nursing multiple injuries, including "a right orbital fracture, a right maxillary sinus fracture, multiple contusions, multiple hematomas and concussion."
London, the twin brother of actor Jeremy London, is perhaps best known for his role in Dazed and Confused.
