CALGARY - This knuckle sandwich wasn't on the menu.
Rocker Marilyn Manson reportedly received a Grand Slam of a different kind while visiting a southern Alberta Denny's over the weekend when he was punched in the face by another patron.
And contrary to media reports, the punch was unprovoked, said Johnny Scott, one of a handful of fans who were in Lethbridge, Alta., restaurant, located 210 km south of Calgary.
Manson arrived around 2:30 a.m. with a small group of people, including security and a driver, Scott said.
The punch happened after a girl called her boyfriend over to take a photo with the rocker.
"Manson never got a chance to sit down," he said.
"He was being friendly with everyone, anyone who wanted a picture, he would give them a picture, anyone who wanted an autograph he would give them an autograph.
"They were just talking and the guy just punched him right in the face without any provocation.”
Celebrity website TMZ.com reported Manson allegedly called a woman in the restaurant a b----, resulting in her boyfriend punching him.
"He just took the shot and ran off right away," Scott said.
Scott said Manson's nose was bleeding after.
"I ended up hanging out with Marilyn Manson for a little while afterward ... he was pissed off because he was being nice."
Manson's security chased the attacker outside and police were called however no arrests were made.
Lethbridge police said in a release they were called to the eatery about 2:45 a.m. Sunday for reports of a "physical altercation."
"Three people were involved in the altercation which resulted in minor injuries," read the statement.
"No charges were laid and the file is concluded."
Police declined further comment.
Management at the Denny's also refused to comment.
Manson played a Saturday night show at the Enmax Centre in Lethbridge as part of his Hell Not Hallelujah Tour.
Calls to Manson's representatives were not returned.
We saw a lot of those as well. I’ve read about incidents in those ones too. We actually ate at one in Mississippi on a Sunday because nothing else was open. Nothing happened. But most everybody inside was middle aged or older. No teens.
It is about the cheapest place to eat out. Therefore, the lower strata of society tends to go there.
He must have been confused with Harry Reid.
Tobacco smoke? (When I last entered one).
Wacky terbacky?
How could they tell, anyway?
I thought that was Jeffrey Tambor wearing a rug.
That is known as liberal think.
You start off by coming to a conclusion. Then you list, and ignore, the facts.
Hours of Operation.
I guess he called her a biotch in a friendly way.
