Lohan said he fought his attacker -- described by police as a white man in his 50s or 60s, and wearing a black track suit -- who bolted from the scene on foot. Lohan was not transported to seek medical attention following the attack, police said.

As RadarOnline.com previously reported, Michael earlier this week said that he had turned over a new leaf in regards to his frequent media appearances, and said he would be keeping quiet for now on, in hopes of eliminating any "hurt, pain and embarrassment" his family suffers as a result of his animated public tirades.
