"Chariot" singer Gavin DeGraw is recovering at a New York City hospital after being attacked by a group of men early Monday, according to reports.
Police say DeGraw, 34, suffered a broken nose and cuts on his face after a brawl with a group of "unknown male attackers" at around 4:30 a.m. Monday in the East Village neighborhood. Sources tell the New York Daily News that he then stumbled off and was hit by a cab 13 blocks away. He was not seriously injured in that collision.
A statement by his spokesman says the singer was "assaulted" and taken to Bellevue Hospital by ambulance and remains under observation. "We have no additional information at this time," the statement reads.
An official at Bellevue said they are not able to release patient information.
Sources say that DeGraw only reported the beating after police were called to the hospital. An investigation is underway though no arrests have been made.
The attack happened five blocks away from the National Underground, a bar and live venue DeGraw owns in partnership with his brother, Joey.
"We want it to be like a neighborhood joint and a little musical joint where local acts can come through and feel comfortable," DeGraw told Billboard.com in a recent interview. "We're just doing what we like. We opened up the little barroom thing in (New York) because we like music."
We can not confirm if DeGraw had been at his bar right before the attack and a call to the venue, located at Houston close to First Ave., could not be completetd because its phone mailbox was full.
DeGraw is currently on tour with Maroon 5 and will miss a planned concert Tuesday in Saratoga Springs, NY. His fifth album, "Sweeter," hits stores Sept. 20.
