Mystery Thugs Beat Moby

Three men set upon Moby in an unprovoked attack, he wrote on his website this week, as the superstar producer signed autographs following a gig in Boston (US).

"I assumed that a bar-fight had spilled out of the bar and that somehow I had gotten caught in the middle of it," said Moby.

"But no. After being punched in the head from behind a few times I turned around to see what was going on and one of them punched me in the face a couple of times and then they all ran away."

Despite being bloodied and bruised, the famously Christian dance star remained sanguine about the cowardly assault.

"I'm not angry and I don't feel vindictive," he wrote the following day.

"Not to sound weird or wimpy, but I'm a pacifist and I believe in forgiveness. I just hope that at some point in these guy's lives they come to realize that hurting other people is wrong."
