Channel 7 sport reporter Ben Davis was tackled to the ground by an inebriated fan during a live cross from the Broncos/Melbourne Storm NRL finals match at Olympic Park. He had been interrupted several times as four men skylarked in the background – one even tried to stick his tongue in his ear. "They had been hanging around during the commercial break and I had said to them 'if you want to carry on on national television that is fine; just don't touch me on air'," Davis said last night. He said he was hit in the head a number of times during the attack, which occurred just after he was taken off air. Full article. Video of attack (from CNN).

I kind of feel sorry for celebs, they always get charged with assault, when really some people just won't leave them alone.
