Von Bondies star Jason Stollsteimer has claimed he was attacked "without warning or provocation" by Jack White. Both were at the launch party of Blanche’s new album at Detroit's Magic Stick venue (December 13).
According to local police Jack and Jason were involved in an argument that came to blows.

As a result of the fracas Stollsteimer was treated for facial injuries at the local Detroit Receiving Hospital, while White had minor injuries to his hand.

The Von Bondies ' management have issued a statement to the American press, which reads: "Stollsteimer was violently attacked by Jack White of The White Stripes without warning or provocation. White approached Stollsteimer during the concert, physically forcing him against the speakers, and began shouting. Stollsteimer attempted to turn his head [to] face White but refused to engage in conversation. Visibly angered by Stollsteimer's unwillingness to argue or fight, White spat into Stollsteimer's face and punched him in the head and face repeatedly. White then forced Stollsteimer to the ground and continued his attack until White was restrained by several crowd members. Stollsteimer was rushed by ambulance to Detroit Receiving Emergency Center for treatment. Stollsteimer has been released and is recovering from the attack at home. No further details are available at this time.
