United Kingdom - MOVIE tough guy Charlie Allan has been battered in a turf war between two feared biker gangs. The 49-year-old actor was attacked minutes before he was about to play a gig with his band.
The Scot was badly beaten by two men outside a hotel in Stirling and spent the rest of the night being treated in hospital.
The thugs who carried out the attack were members of The Blue Angels – a Glasgow gang who want to stop their rivals recruiting in Scotland.
They accused Charlie – who has appeared in blockbusters Gladiator and Robin Hood – of helping The Outlaws set up their first chapter in Dundee last year.
Yesterday, he didn't want to go into detail about the vicious assault. But he said: "The attack was frightening and left me quite traumatised."
Biker Charlie, who plays the bagpipes with Scottish folk band Saor Patrol, was booked to perform at a festival organised by The Outlaws. But he pulled his band out of next month's three-day rock and blues event in Derby after he was beaten.
