“I landed on my backside, and then continued on, hit my head on the pavement.”
And I just said, ‘I am no threat to you.’
Allen lost his left arm in a car accident in 1985, but he refused to quit music.
With the help of specially modified drum kits, he has continued performing with Def Leppard.
Police arrested 19-year-old Max Hartley for the attack and charged him with criminal mischief and aggravated battery.
Hartley has pleaded not guilty.
