Michael Bay Attacked by Two Brothers on Transformers 4 Set in Hong Kong

Making a movie is never easy, and the process became even more difficult when Michael Bay was assaulted on the set of Transformers 4: The Age of Extinction in Hong Kong on Thursday, Oct. 17. The filmmaker, 48, was approached by two brothers who demanded he fork over HK$100,000 ($12,900). The siblings reportedly felt they should be compensated for allowing Bay and his crew to film in the city's Quarry Bay district. The brothers attacked Bay, who sustained injuries to the right side of his face. The Pain & Gain director declined medical attention. The older brother was arrested on suspicion of assault, while the younger brother was arrested on suspicion of assault and blackmail. Police have now handed the case over to specialist anti-triad units reserved for tackling Hong Kong's notorious criminal gangs. Transformers 4: The Age of Extinction--starring Mark Wahlberg, Nicola Peltz and Jack Reynor--hits theaters in June 2014.
