A woman who attended a Hulk Hogan event this week told police she ended up in the hospital after being hit in the head by a flying beer can.
The Hulkster was promoting his new Real American Beer at the Thirsty Cowboy in Medina, Ohio on Monday when the incident occurred.
Video obtained by TMZ of the event shows Hulk Hogan’s crew going full “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, tossing beer cans into the crowd.
At one point in the video, someone gets on a microphone and says, “Y’all, we’re not going to be throwing these beers. I don’t want anybody getting hurt, okay?”
To which someone in the crowd shouts back, “Too late.”
According to a police report, a woman named Emma Harlukowicz says one of the flying beer cans hit her 50-year-old mother in the head.
The mother ended up getting the gash near her hairline closed up with nine stitches at the hospital.
Harlukowicz claimed that Hulk Hogan was the one who threw the beer can, but other witnesses said it was “another crew member” who did it.
Police ended up closing the case without pressing any charges and ruling it an accident.
The Thirsty Cowboy in Medina was the same place that Hulk Hogan asked the crowd, “Do you want me to body slam Kamala Harris? I said, do you want me to body slam Kamala Harris? Want me to drop the leg on Kamala?”
Hogan was a speaker last month at the Republican National Convention, supporting Donald Trump.
He also made some racist gestures and comments about Kamala Harris’ ethnicity.
“I’m gonna get heat for that one, brother,” Hogan said after making the remark. “That was not me. That was the beers talking.”
In July, Hulk Hogan’s Real American Beer company was forced to issue a statement after a brand ambassador made an accusation of racial discrimination. The company denied the charges.
In 2016, audio of Hogan making disgustingly racist comments was released, resulting in his WWE contract being terminated and being removed from the WWE Hall of Fame. He was reinstated into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2018.
