Arrow Star Stephen Amell Attacked By Crazy Fan

Arrow Star Stephen Amell Attacked By Crazy Fan

Stephen Amell, star of Arrow, took to Facebook to post an image of himself following an attack by an apparent fan of Green Arrow.

Stephen Amell, who appears to be overall okay, posted that a fan came up to him out of nowhere and gave him a headbutt.

“Dude came up to me yesterday… Head Butts me hard. Outta nowhere… Then says — ‘I want to fight the Green Arrow,” Amell said.

Credit must be given to Stephen Amell, who didn’t escalate the situation, as he reached out his hand in friendship, which apparently stifled the situation.

“…Paused, looked at him…,” Amell continued. “Shook his hand and said no thank you. Because I’m a father and a husband. Pretty manly if you ask me.”

The image of Stephen Amell after the attack reveals he apparently was headbutted in the bridge of the nose/corner of the eye as his face is black and blue and swollen.

There’s no word whether or not charges were pressed by Stephen Amell or if the fan was arrested.

We’re glad to hear that Stephen Amell is alright and no one was seriously hurt in the situation.
