Brutal beating!
Exclusive! Tokio Hotel-drummer Gustav to BRAVO: The scars will remain forever!
These images gives real goose bumps! Tokio Hotel-drummer Gustav Schäfer (20) was brutally beaten! How could this happen?
The story of a dramatic night: Gustav wanted to party in his hometown Magdeburg. At half 3 o'clock at night, he goes with a friend to the discotheque "The Club" - this night they are playing Black Music (I think they mean heavy/mollie). Shortly after 4, when the drummer is talking to some girls, he is being attacked by 3 men! They intimidate Gustav (1.70 cm) and beats him in the face.There after the unknown perpetrators disappear for a short moment. A couple of seconds later the attack him again, this time from behind!
"One of the three hit him in the head with a bottle," says "The Club" s owner Panos Kondogtis (47) on Bravo. When the glass shattering, Gustav had several cuts in the head - one was over 5 cm long! A witness reported "Gustav bled terribly from from the head." His friend led him to the bathroom at the disco, and tried to stop the bleeding with towels. When the ambulance arrived Gustav took courteous goodbye to the owner, and said to him: "I am sorry for you. And me. See you."
At the hospital, he had a bit of hair removed and the wounds sewn with 36 stitches. Then he went home ....
A few days after the nasty attacks he talks exclusively with Bravo. Bravely he says: "I am better already. Okay, I'm not great yet, but still better." Why he was attacked, he knows not. "No idea, maybe they had been drinking something strange."
But witnesses say that the girls who talked to Gustav, was apparently girl friends of the offender and therefore perhaps jealousy and envy led to the attack. "Envy can lead people to do terrible things," said Gustav. "But I am not quite the great womanizer, that you become jealous of." The TH-drummer might not tell the details of the evening. As the police investigation against beater - Gustav has filed a complaint against the unknown. The star doesn't want revenge: "But I hope that the guilty are apprehended, so that does not get up to more trouble. Vindictive, I am not." And this despite the fact that he will remember this terrible night the rest of his life. "The scars will remain, but I do not think it is so dangerous. There are more important things in life," he says bravely. Gustav is positive: "I could have had the bottle and glass fragments in the eye. It would have been really bad," he says. "I can be glad that I did not get the bottle from the front but from behind the head. Or in other words, thanks to their guile, I'm not blind!" How will Gustav protect himself against such attacks in future? "I have so far always thought it was important to have my privacy without security people, who follow every step I take . I do not want to lose my old life," he determines. "But how I will do in the future, I still do not know."
He is very grateful to all his friends and fans: "I have received a incredible number of letters and support. It's crazy how much love they have shown me, I am so touched. Thank you so much!"
