London
(ANI):
A
video
of
the
moment
when
a
crazed
drunk
stormed
the
stage
at
an
Oasis
gig,
attacking
Noel
Gallagher
and
lunging
for
Liam
has
emerged.
The
footage
shows
the
full
violent
attack,
and
chaotic
aftermath,
as
security
desperately
tried
to
restrain
the
attacker.
It
shows
the
assailant
being
bundled
roughly
off
stage
during
the
Canadian
V
Festival
by
at
least
four
burly
officials.
"From
the
side
of
the
stage
you
could
see
just
how
violently
Noel
was
hit," News
of
the
World
quoted
one
onlooker,
as
saying.
"He's
just
catapulted
forward
on
to
his
speakers,
then
there's
a
mass
of
bodies
as
the
lights
go
up
and
the
security
guys
chase
in
after
and
jump
on
the
attacker.
What
the
crowd
didn't
see
was
him
being
literally
dragged
off
by
security.
His
shirt
gets
pulled
up
around
his
arms,
and
you
can
see
his
bare
back.
Then
security
stop
and
get
the
situation
under
control.
It's
darker
at
the
side
of
the
stage
and
it
looks
like
the
man
struggles
and
needs
to
be
physically
restrained.
But
security
soon
show
him
who's
in
charge,"
the
onlooker
added.
After
the
attack,
Noel
was
left
badly
injured
when
he
fell
forward
heavily
on
to
a
set
of
monitor
speakers.
The
band
has
since
scrapped
two
gigs,
as
Noel
takes
time
out
to
recover.
The
guitarist,
the
older
of
the
Gallagher
brothers,
needed
hospital
treatment
for
bruised
ribs.
"Someone,
who
can
only
be
described
as
a
Canadian,
was
able
to
get
on
stage,
somehow
managed
to
evade
our
crack
security
team
-
Trotters
Independent
Security
Service
-
and
assaulted
my
midriff,"
he
said.
"Can't
say
much
more
than
that
as
the
perpetrator's
gonna
get
the
book
thrown
at
him.
Repeatedly.
It
was
all
going
so
well
up
until
that
point.
Feel
like
I've
had
a
sparring
session
with
Ricky
Hatton,"
he
added.
The
footage
also
shows
the
man
attacking
Liam,
who
managed
to
drop
his
shoulder
and
dodge
out
of
the
way.
Toronto
police
have
charged
47-year-old
Daniel
Sullivan
with
the
assault.
