Wallace, 57, reportedly was knocked unconscious, while Lindsay Wallace Van Wingerden also was treated for unspecified injuries after trying to cover her father’s body in an effort to protect him from further injuries.
Here’s part of a post Mike Wallace put on his Facebook page after being treated at a hospital:
I normally would not post personal affairs but this is to help and give advice to our friends, do not ever talk to a group of now what appeared to be drunk or drugged up young adult men or women when your trying to get in your car to leave the unguarded PNC amphitheater in Charlotte, NC parking lot after a good Rascal Flatts concert. This is what I looked like after I was knocked out and crap beat out of me. The ambulance driver took this picture we were just supposed to gave a fun night. I want to thank my family and friends for helping protect me from a worse beating as I layed unconscious on the ground. What’s worse is three of guys that beat my family up were arrested and out of jail before we got out of the hospital.
Kenny Wallace took to social media and said his brother received 12 stitches inside his mouth, suffered a dislodged tooth and has had vision problems resulting from the attack. Mike Wallace and his daughter both have been released from the hospital.
