Gustav Schaefer, drummer of the German pop-rock band Tokio Hotel, was reportedly injured in a fight at a German nightclub on Sunday.

Schaefer, 20, was injured at a club in his hometown of Magdeburg according to the band’s manager. Police have also confirmed the incident to Bild.de, a German news site.

“In one of Magdeburg’s night clubs, a stranger smashed two beer bottles on the head of Gustav,” David Jost, the band’s manager and producer, said in a statement. “Gustav had to be treated in the hospital with 36 stitches. The police [are investigating] aggravated assault.”

The manager’s statement also explains what allegedly happened between the drummer and a group of guys after he spoke with a girl at a club. “All of a sudden some guys surrounded Gustav,” he continued. “One of them, who had a bald shaved head, started to aggressively pick on him. Suddenly another guy appeared; he hit Gustav straight in his face without warning.

“This started a physical argument between Gustav and the man who had hit him,” Jost said. “Other guests of the club allegedly helped to pull the two apart from each other. The rowdy [man] took off and Gustav thought that that was it. But the guy with the shaved head continued to insult him. Then the vicious attack happened. The second guy approached Gustav from behind on the right side and without warning smashed a beer bottle on Gustav’s head from the side”.
