Vietnamese Singer Attacked at California Concert

A popular Vietnamese singer was attacked while performing in Santa Clara, California by a local activist on Sunday. This video clip purportedly shows the activist Ly Tong, disguised as a woman, approaching the stage at 1:48 and offering a flower to pop singer Dam Vinh Hung. As Hung reaches out for the flower, he is sprayed in the face with pepper spray. Tong's attorney tells KGO-TV it was an act of political protest against Hung's Communist agenda. The BBC reports hundreds of demonstrators, including Louisiana congressman Anh Cao, protested outside the concert.

In this video, Pink apologizes to her fans that she will not be able to continue her performance:
