ATLANTA, GA -- Pearl Jam bassist Jeff Ament is recovering from a violent robbery.
A Dekalb County police report obtained by The Associated Press reports Ament and an employee of the band were attacked by three assailants with knives when they arrived in the parking lot of Southern Tracks Recording studio in Atlanta on April 27th.
The police report says the assailants smashed three car windows, grabbed a Blackberry, two computers and demanded more money. The report says $3,000 in cash and $4,320 in goods were stolen.
At some point Ament tried to escape, but one of the assailants chased him down, knocked him to the ground where he suffered a head wound and had his passport stolen.
Surveillance cameras caught the incident but no arrests have been made.
