Oasis attacker charge upgraded

Daniel Sullivan, who attacked Noel Gallagher on stage in Toronto, now faces a charge of aggravated assault, with a pre-trial hearing set for 6 March.

The man who attacked Noel Gallagher, as previously reported, as the band played a set in Toronto last year, has had the charges against him upgraded.

Daniel Sullivan was originally accused of assault, and is now charged with one count of aggravated assault, which means he could receive a harsher sentence if found guilty; the maximum penalty for assault is five years, whereas it's fourteen years for aggravated assault.

That would seem a bit too harsh, in my opinion, for running on stage and attacking Gallagher from behind.

Though, to be fair, the Oasis man apparently suffered three broken and dislodged ribs because he fell onto his speakers in the incident.

Sullivan will be back in court on 6 Mar for a pre-trial hearing.
