Four men, who were allegedly drunk guests at a nearby wedding in the same venue, attacked Pelletier in the men's room of a Hilton hotel where he was a main attraction at 'Eternal Twilight 4,' a fan expo packed with teenage girls in Birmingham, about 120 miles from London (Peter Facinelli was the biggest 'Twilight' star originally booked to appear, but was ultimately a no-show).
Pelletier suffered a broken nose in the confrontation, during which the men reportedly struck and headbutted him until he was able to escape. Police chased the suspects, and witnesses say cops used a Taser to restrain one. All four were arrested on suspicion of assault; two have since been released and two were granted bail, pending further investigation. The motive for the attack has not been made public.
A source told the U.K.'s Daily Telegraph, according to WENN, "Bronson was really angry and upset. These guys were very nasty. They were so drunk, they probably didn't even realize they were picking on a Hollywood actor."

Guess a lot of people are getting sick of the Twilight series.

LOL. The critics can be brutal.
"told a local news outlet about his efforts to buff up,"
Buff don't mean tough.

Some things never change... Drunks will be drunks and punks will be punks.

OMG! What cowards! I've seen Bronson. He's a slight, barely-there young man. I can't believe the bulliesganged up on him. They must be the biggest cowards to have to have 4 of them gang up on just one little guy.

I want to clarify, as someone who was at the event, Bronson did NOT have his nose broken. He said that he felt threatened to the organisers and they, along with security, intervened. Although there was an injury to a member of staff, all the invited guests/actors remained safe and unharmed.
It is extremely detrimental to the future of such fan events when these incidents are falsely reported and blown out of proportion. Hundreds of fans risk losing out due to this site's inability to verify its facts.

Well done; thank you!
So what if he was an actor? Are you saying they perhaps wouldn't have beaten him up if they knew and would to on to pick on a "less fortunate soul"??? No one deserves to beaten up! I am so tired of everyone thinking celebrity makes you special.

Gosh golly, if they had only known they were messing with a hollywood actor...better they didn't...if they had known he was a part of the "Twilight Saga" they would have thumped him that much harder...

He prob. actually paid them to beat him up to look study because besides being a fake werewolf, he's just a wuss.
