"In regards to the story about Mick, I'm doing the best I can to find out if he's alright. I'll get back to you later," Taylor, aka Mad Beans Hooper, tweeted after hearing the news. About an hour and a half later he followed up with, "Mick Update: from what I've heard he's okay. We're sendig [sic] him all your thoughts. Thank you for that."
Per a police statement obtained by E! News, the fight occurred at Mick's residence in Clive and he sustained a non-life-threatening stab wound to the back of the head. Both he and Andrew Thomson appeared drunk when they arrived at the hospital via separate ambulances. Evidence was collected at the scene and an investigation is ongoing.
