I suppose it could have been worst I wonder if they prosecuted him?

Re: Noel Gallagher Attack Live on Stage
The guy has been arrested and Noel was took to hospital later with a fractured rib and ligament damage. I wonder why the guy did it?
Re: Noel Gallagher Attack Live on Stage
I wonder why they keep refering to the guy as a 'fan' in all the news storys about this?

Re: Noel Gallagher Attack Live on Stage
A strongly-rumoured collaboration between Oasis and Paul Weller at the Canadian V Festival may have been ruined by the onstage assault on Noel Gallagher on Sunday (September 7).
The guitarist was pushed to the ground by an intruder during his band's set, forcing the group to leave the stage for nearly ten minutes.
Although Oasis returned to finish the show, according to a statement the guitarist was later "taken to hospital after the show to be examined for a suspected fractured rib and ligament damage. The assailant was detained in police custody and will be charged with assault".
However, according to a source at the festival, Weller - who was also on the bill - had been due to join the band on 'Champagne Supernova', a track he originally guested on when it appeared on the band's 1995 album '(What's The Story) Morning Glory?'.
"There was a rumour going around the festival that Weller was going to play the solo on the song, like he does on record, all day," the source told NME.COM. "However, just before the band played their last song they all huddled together, there was a bit of a discussion and then they launched into set closer 'I Am The Walrus'.
"Afterwards, there was talk that the band had to cut the song due to time, and that meant no Weller."
Whether Weller was due to guest or not, suggestions that the song was cut do appear to be backed up by the fact that when Oasis kicked off their world tour in Seattle 'Champagne Supernova' was the song that immediately preceded the set closer.

Details of how the Oasis attacker managed to get onstage and push Noel Gallagher over during a gig have begun to emerge.
As previously reported, the Oasis guitarist was pushed to the floor during their set at the V Festival in Toronto on Sunday (September 7).
According to Virgin spokesperson Nathan Rosenberg, the invader - identified as 47-year-old Daniel Sullivan - gained access to the stage by evading security, and was not someone with a backstage pass.
"This person seems to have found a hole in somewhere near the stage area and crawled on the stage," he told The Ampersand in a video interview. "Security guards are now looking at how that took place and we're looking at that as well to make sure that it never happens again."
Emailing NME.COM, fans "Derek and Adi" revealed they had seen the man moments before he got onstage.
"We saw the attacker run from the main crowd and run past security to the entrance to the stage," they wrote. "He ran up the stairs right past everyone and pushed Noel over. He literally made a break for it and made it all the way onto the stage. As soon as he was onstage we witnessed at least five police officers run after him onto the stage. Shortly after we saw several police taking him down the stairs and out of our view."
Meanwhile, Oasis fans have responded to the attack by issuing 'wanted: dead or alive' calls on Sullivan, even going as far as printing his home address, phone number and a map of where he lives on various fan forums.

Noel Gallagher has spoken for the first time about the onstage assault he suffered while playing the V Festival in Toronto on Sunday (September 7).
Writing on the Tales From The Middle Of Nowhere blog on Oasisinet.com, the guitarist admitted he had a bad feeling about the gig.
"I'll have to stop this prophesising. I knew something was going to happen last night. I said I had a bad feeling, didn't I!?" he wrote.
Recalling the incident, Gallagher explained: "Someone, who can only be described as a 'Canadian', was able to get onstage, somehow managed to evade our crack security team (Trotters Independent Security Service) and assaulted my mid-riff.
"Can't say much more than that as the 'perpetrator''s gonna get the book thrown at him. Repeatedly. It was all going so well up until that point'n'all."
Speaking about his injuries that forced Oasis to postpone a show in London, Ontario, Gallagher declared: "Feel like I've had a sparring session with [Manchester boxer] Ricky Hatton. Still, we'll probably get an extra couple of days in NYC. Every cloud, eh?"

Noel Gallagher has revealed that seminal comedy series 'Seinfeld' has been key to his recuperation programme.
The Oasis guitarist was pushed over by a stage invader during the band's set at V Festival in Toronto on Sunday (September 7).
Writing on his blog on Oasisinet.com, Gallagher apologised to fans for missing the shows - including tonight's (September 12) gig in New York, explaining that he is seeing doctors again after the incident.
"Nowt down today, droogs," he wrote on his blog. "Spent all day in bed suffering from my severe tickling at the hands of that drunken Canadian who, it transpires, is a grown man of 47 years!! (And I thought I was the oldest person at our gigs!)
"In his defence though, he's probably having one of those mid-life crises things. Apparently it's on YouTube. Imagine doing an assault on world television!?"
He then revealed his recuperation aids.
"Did get to watch four 'Seinfeld's though. And some American football, so not too dissimilar to a normal day back home. Have to get another check up tomorrow. I'm gonna ask for new bionic ribs," Gallagher wrote.
"Apologies for blowing out the show in London (that's London in Canada). You can thank your comrade from Toronto for that. We will return though. Probably in December. Anyway, gotta go. These painkillers are kicking in again."

Oasis' Liam and Noel Gallagher have revealed that they initially thought that Noel had been stabbed when he was attacked onstage in Toronto recently.
Noel Gallagher was attacked while Oasis headlined the V Festival in the Canadian city on September 7. He suffered three broken ribs, causing the band to cancel a slew of gigs.
Liam and Noel have since explained that in the confusion they feared the guitarist had been knifed.
"I thought he (Noel) had been stabbed," Liam told MTV2 Gonzo. "It was fucking dark, but it could've been a lot worse, that's the way I look at it. The guy's gonna get dealt with."
Noel added: "'Cos it had been raining and there were puddles around I thought I'd been stabbed. For a split second I shit it."

Re: Noel Gallagher Attack Live on Stage
Similar to you Dave, my first thought was how Liam backed off then acted like he wanted to wade in after the guy was huckled..
But, to be honest, the fella coulda had a gun or a knife or anything, so it was a wise move to back off rather than wade in.
Doesn't do much for his hardman image mind you..
