It had been previously reported that Bret Hart was attacked by a crazy fan as he was delivering his acceptance speech for the Hart Foundation’s induction into the WWE Hall of Fame, Class of 2019.
According to a report from the New York Times, the attacker, named Zachary Madsen said “I just felt like it was the right moment,” when he appeared in court on Sunday.
Hart, along with Natalya, inducted the Hart Foundation into the Hall of Fame. Below is a more touching moment from the speech:
The report continues on by stating the following:
Madsen, of Lincoln, Neb., was ordered held on $1,500 bond at his arraignment on assault and criminal trespassing charges in Brooklyn criminal court.
The judge also granted an order of protection against Madsen to Hart and the WWE security guard, Thaddeus Jones.
Madsen was previously busted in September for allegedly stalking mixed martial artist Haris Talundzic, Lincoln Police Department records show.
Editor’s Opinion:
I hope that this guy is banned for life from all WWE events. There is absolutely no reason for this behavior, and not only did he ruin a wonderful moment, but he potentially could have harmed a lot of people in the process.
