Stuntman stabbed on set of Brad Pitt movie
By Tribute on October 17, 2013 | 6 Comments
An air ambulance was called Tuesday morning to the set of the new Brad Pitt movie Fury (pictured at left) in Oxford, England, when a stuntman was accidentally stabbed in the shoulder with a bayonet. The 35-year-old man was taking part in a rehearsed action scene when something went wrong and he was stabbed. The man was quickly airlifted to a local hospital. Police are not treating the incident as a crime and the Health and Safety Executive is now taking over the investigation. Sony Pictures spokeswoman Claudia Kalindjian told the Oxford Mail: “There has been an accident between two professional stuntmen which happened in a rehearsed action sequence. It was an accident. It is obviously very unfortunate.” However, she noted: “He left the set laughing and talking.”
Fury is a World War II movie written and directed by David Ayer, known for his movie End of Watch, and stars Brad Pitt, Shia LaBeouf and Logan Lerman. It is currently filming in Oxfordshire, England and is set to be released November 14, 2014. ~Brie Davis
