Joacim Cans injured by bar patron

Joacim Cans, lead singer for Hammerfall was injured last Saturday at a bar in Goteborg Sweden. Someone approached him and expressed displeasure for him, all the other band members and for Hammerfall's music. After saying that they all should be executed, he spat in Joacim's face. Not wanting a confrontation, he turned and walked away. Later when he saw this guy's girlfriend assaulting his girlfriend, he stepped in to separate the two and was blind-sided by a beer glass. The guy ran out leaving Joacim in a pool of blood and requiring 25 stitches. The band is quite upset about this and have had to cancel a video shoot for their new single, Hearts Of Fire from their forthcoming Crimson Thunder album due out in late September.
