Pickering man named as attacker at Oasis concert

Sep 09, 2008 - 02:59 PM

PICKERING -- A Pickering man has been identified as the intruder who rushed the stage at a rock concert Sunday in Toronto, knocking a musician down and disrupting the show.

The incident, which occurred during an appearance by British band Oasis during the Virgin Festival Sunday, has been widely reported. Video of the incident is making the rounds on the popular website YouTube and is being prominently featured on online news sites.

The video shows a man wearing jeans and a T-shirt emerging from the back of the stage as the band plays its hit (What's the Story) Morning Glory? and rushing guitarist Noel Gallagher, pushing him and knocking him down. On the video security guards quickly converge and wrestle the man offstage.

The band resumed playing after a break.

Published media reports said Daniel Sullivan, 47, of Pickering, has been charged with assault. During a court appearance Monday the man was ordered to stay away from members of the band, the reports said.
