Video footage shows the entertainer dressed only in a white singlet and underwear, being pulled from the driver’s seat, slapped repeatedly, and forced to sit on the ground as the crowd shouted accusations of reckless driving.

He was eventually allowed to leave, though his condition remained unclear.
The injured motorcyclists were taken to a local hospital but their status has not been confirmed.
