Michael Bay, the director of the Transformer franchise, was reportedly attacked by two men in Hong Kong, while shooting his upcoming movie Transformers: Age Of Extinction.
According to reports, the 48-year-old director was filming, when two brothers, with the surname Mak, apprehended him and allegedly demanded to be paid HKS100, 000 dollars for the inconvenience caused by the shoot, Contactmusic reported
The brothers claimed that their vendor business was getting affected due to the shooting.
Bay wrote on his website that although the vendors received a "fair price" for any inconvenience caused by the filming, one particular vendor wanted 'four times' the amount.
He said that when he directly informed the man that his demands were unreasonable, the vendor returned and attempted to 'smack' Bay in the face with an air conditioning unit, but the director was able to duck and push the angry vendor away.
However, the man continued to fight even when the security guard intervened, and Bay added that it took seven guys to subdue him, as he lifted seven guys up and tried to bite them.
