Eyehategod’s Aaron Hill has been assaulted and robbed in Guadalajara, Mexico, informador.mx reports.

The 35-year-old drummer was attacked by three men and a woman not far from the Forum Independence, the very venue where the band was scheduled to play. The assailants reportedly brandished a knife, and left Hill with a five centimeter (roughly two inches) wound on his left side. Luckily, he’s said to be doing okay.

According to the show’s promoter, Show No Mercy, the band “have a driver at their disposal,” but given the close proximity of the group’s hotel to the venue, Hill opted to walk.
