Stumble ThisATLANTA – Pearl Jam bassist Jeff Ament was mugged outside an Atlanta studio where the band is recording, police said.
Three masked men dressed mostly in black came out of the woods behind Southern Tracks recording studio and attacked Ament and employee Mark Anthony Smith as they arrived in a rented Jeep late last month, DeKalb County police said.
Police say the men smashed three of the Jeep's windows and grabbed a Blackberry and two computers and demanded money. Ament jumped out of the passenger side and tried to run, but one of the men knocked him to the ground and stole his passport.
The men got away with $3,000 cash, along with computers and other equipment worth more than $4,000. Paramedics treated Ament for head injuries.
Surveillance cameras recorded the incident but no one has been arrested.
Pearl Jam management had no comment Thursday.

Either way, the driver apparently had the right idea.
I sure as hell wouldn't want anybody helping me up or checking to see if I was okay if I was knocked to the ground and mugged...
