The bizarre Jason London saga is getting even stranger.
New pictures released by TMZ show London’s face bruised and badly beaten, and seem to back up his side of the story that he was brutally attacked by a group of bodyguards. Perhaps further backing the claims are pictures of his hands showing no marks or scuffs, indicating he didn’t fight back.
He wrote on Twitter that he’s suffering from a right orbital fracture and a sinus fracture.
The “Dazed & Confused” star was arrested over the weekend after a bar fight in Scottsdale, Ariz. He was cuffed after “cold clocking” a bouncer who supposedly sneezed in his face. He then allegedly defecated in the back of a cop car out of revenge, the official police report says.
However, the actor insists he was on the receiving end of the assault. “Jason’s injuries are consistent with a brutal attack with deliberately and expertly aimed landed shots to the head which, according to eyewitnesses, continued even after he was unconscious,” a rep for London told the gossip site.
London claims that he got into a fight with a man at the Martini Ranch bar after the man approached him for “looking at his friend’s girl.”
TMZ reports that London is unsure of what happened next, but he claims he regained consciousness while being arrested for disorderly conduct after he was allegedly assaulted by the bar’s security.
The owner of the Martini Ranch bar said he is standing behind his security staff. “We feel confident that when the time comes between witnesses, police reports and our surveillance footage, that the truth will come out and show that the comments by Mr. London and his people are clearly inaccurate.”
According to the police report, London was belligerent while being arrested and even went so far as to defecate in the back seat of the police car.
London insists the report is false. He tweeted: “I would never say or do the crap they are reporting. Have faith in me. The truth will come out and you will see.”
