Jason Von Bondie Speaks Out

He provides the following statement, which appears on the Von Bondies official site:

While attending a show at the Magic Stick nightclub in Detroit with his wife
and the two female members of his band, The Von Bondies, on Saturday December
13, 2003 singer-songwriter Jason Stollsteimer was violently attacked by Jack
White of The White Stripes, without warning or provocation. White approached
Stollsteimer during the concert, physically forcing him against the speakers
and began shouting. Stollsteimer attempted to turn his head and face White, but
refused to engage in conversation. Visibly angered by Stollsteimer’s
unwillingness to argue or fight, White spat into Stollsteimer’s face and punched him
in the head and face repeatedly. White then forced Stollsteimer to the ground
and continued his attack until White was restrained by several crowd members.
Stollsteimer was rushed by ambulance to Detroit Receiving Emergency Center
for treatment. Stollsteimer has been released and is recovering from the attack
at home. No further details are available at this time.
