Def Leppard's one-armed drummer Rick Allen suffered a head injury after cops say he was violently assaulted by a teenager in an apparent sneak attack at a South Florida hotel.

According to an arrest report, obtained by TMZ, Allen was puffing on a cigarette as the suspect was lying in wait behind a pole outside the Four Seasons Hotel in Fort Lauderdale Beach.

At first, I thought "again?" Old news is old.

In related news a recently escaped killer is claiming a one armed man is the real killer. Might be worth checking out.

It's only from last year! It's not that old! But did anyone read the entire article? My God.... this happened at a Four Seasons? And the kid was only 19. He not only attacked Rick but he attacked another woman that tried to interject and then he ran off and destroyed some cars in the parking lot next door. And he's out on bail like the next day? WTF? I don't understand this world.

You might say he had hysteria and wanted to run riot.
