“While on a plane from Georgia to Istanbul, Turkey today (July 8), Lee Ryan was physically assaulted by a male passenger. Lee and the rest of the band, defended him from the attack. It continued after the plane had landed when the passenger pushed Lee down a flight of stairs causing an injury to his leg,” they wrote.
“Both parties were spoken to by the police in Turkey and to which Lee voluntarily gave a victim statement supported by the band. Lee was not at any point arrested, detained or charged with any offence. And, after giving his statement, was free to continue his journey,” they then continued.
“The assault occurred after Lee had put his feet on the seat. This was considered culturally insensitive. Lee has apologised for any unknowing offence caused,” they then added.
