The 73-year-old lead singer of 1960s group, The Chambers Brothers, suffered nerve damage and a severely bruised rib after 43-year-old Dinalynn Andrews Potter jumped on stage and shoved him to the ground yelling, “It’s all your fault.”
Potter, who is white, assaulted Chambers while he was singing about peace and love, hours before George Zimmerman was acquitted of all charges. The incident is a reflection of the existing racial tension that has erupted to the tipping point over the verdict.
The incident was captured in its entirety in the video above.
