Transformers director hurt in attack in Hong Kong

Physical injuries inflicted on Michael Bay.

Hollywood director Michael Bay was attacked and slightly injured on the set of the fourth installment of the famous “Transformers” movie franchise currently filming in Hong Kong.

A Hong Kong police spokesperson said two brothers surnamed Mak who own a shop near the film set approached Bay and demanded US$13,000.

Bay was assaulted by the brothers after refusing the blackmail demand. The brothers also allegedly assaulted three police officers who were called to the set.

Police said Bay had a minor injury to his face but declined medical treatment. The brothers Mak were arrested and face charges of blackmail, assault and assaulting police officers.

Produced by Paramount Pictures, Transformers 4: Age of Extinction, is partly set in Hong Kong. The movie stars Mark Wahlberg and will be released in June 2014.
