The suspect, 19-year-old Max Hartley, allegedly ran “full speed” toward Allen and struck him, which caused the musician to fall backward and hit his head on the ground, according to the arrest report.

Allen — who had his left arm amputated in January 1985 following a New Year’s Eve car accident — reportedly provided a sworn statement to police telling them he wants to prosecute Hartley, who was bailed out of the Broward County Jail on Tuesday.
The “Pour Some Sugar on Me” rockers were in town to headline a concert Sunday night alongside Mötley Crüe at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino.
