Michael Bay Is NOT Injured! ‘Transformers 4 Age of Extinction’ Director Survives Assault! Filming Has Resumed! The Official Report Released

It has been reported all around the Internet that Michael Bay was injured on the set of "Transformers: Age Of Extinction" while shooting in Hong Kong.

The official report of the incident (from Empire):

"Contrary to several erroneous news reports, Bay did not get hurt in a fight on his set. The production company did have a rather bizarre encounter with a man (allegedly under the influence of a narcotic substance) who was wielding an air conditioning unit as his weapon of choice.

"The young man, who had earlier accosted several other crew members, barreled onto the set in Quarry Bay and swung the cumbersome appliance directly at Bay's head. The director ducked and wrested the air conditioner from his attacker, preventing what could have been a serious accident. The company's security team quickly stepped in and subdued the assault. The police, who also scuffled with the assailant and two of his companions, ultimately arrested the three men. No one on the cast or crew was injured and the production immediately resumed filming without further incident."

The previous report was on Variety. The source of was a police spokeswoman who narrated the incident to news agency Reuters. In that report, it was said that brothers attacked Bay after they demanded an amount of HK$100,000 but it was not clear what the amount was for.

The latest report only clarified the incident and confirmed that Michael Bay is not injured, as stated earlier.
