Jack Osbourne 'sucker punched' in the head at L.A. coffee shop
Jack Osbourne is reportedly OK after being attacked Wednesday in Studio City, Calif.
TMZ first reported that Osbourne was sitting on the sidewalk outside of a coffee shop with his back to the street when a man, who appeared to be homeless, “sucker punched” him on the right side of his head. Osbourne threw his coffee at the culprit before the man ran away, though he’s since been located and arrested for battery and assault.
The Los Angeles Police Department confirmed the report to Yahoo Entertainment. Osbourne’s rep did not respond to a request for information on his condition.
Osbourne’s divorce from wife Lisa Stelly was finalized last month. They share three young daughters: Pearl, Andy and Minnie.
He has been outspoken about having been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2012.
The 33-year-old reality TV star’s father, rocker Ozzy Osbourne, made news of his own Thursday, when he announced the cancellation of his performances scheduled for 2019 for health reasons. The elder Osbourne, 70, is recovering from both a bout of pneumonia and a fall at his home.
OZZY will postpone all his tour dates as he recovers from injury sustained while dealing with pneumonia. Ozzy fell at his Los Angeles home aggravating years-old injuries (from his 2003 ATV accident) that required surgery.

Back in December 2018, he told Yahoo Entertainment that he was enjoying the idea of (healthy) downtime more and more.
“I just want to slow it down and spend more time with my grandchildren, my family, my wife, because it gets lonely,” the “Crazy Train” singer said. “Because now I don’t drink or get loaded. I don’t go out; I just stay in my room. And I think my life passes me by. Suddenly I’m 69, 70 — I’m 70 [this] December.”
However, the Prince of Darkness does expect to hit the road again, beginning in February 2020.
