Fleetwood Mac musician Lindsey Buckingham was allegedly attacked by a woman during a recent outing in Santa Monica, California, according to reports.
Buckingham, 76, was allegedly attacked by the woman when he appeared for an appointment on March 25 in the Southern California Beach town, police confirmed to KTLA, and several law enforcement sources confirmed to NBC4. The woman, identified by police as a stalker, allegedly approached Buckingham as he entered the building and doused the Grammy-winning rocker with an unknown substance before fleeing, the outlets report. The guitarist was not injured.
The Los Angeles Police Department's Threat Management Unit is taking the lead on the case, the LAPD said in a statement to USA TODAY on Wednesday, April 1. "To protect the integrity of the open and ongoing investigation, no further comment will be provided, at this time," police told USA TODAY.
USA TODAY has reached out to the Santa Monica Police Department and Buckingham's representatives for comment.
Police have identified the suspect but not publicly released the woman's name and she has not been arrested, according to the outlets. She has been described by authorities as a "stalking suspect" based on previous incidents with Buckingham.
