This past Friday night (July 6th), Michael "The Gook" Couls (pictured above) was stabbed by Harley Flanagan (founder of the CRO MAGS). The incident took place at New York City's Webster Hall, during the CBGB Fest show that featured SICK OF IT ALL, CRO MAGS, VISION OF DISORDER, ABSOLUTION and SAI NAM. The incident took place right after VISION OF DISORDER's set, who performed right before CRO MAGS and SICK OF IT ALL!
As see on the NY Post: Around 8:15 PM, while the CRO MAGS were getting ready to take the stage, Harley Flanagan, 42, made his way into the venue’s VIP section toward the bands dressing room, sending nearly 30 guests on the balcony into a frenzy, law enforcement sources and witnesses said.
According to the NY Post, William Berario, 45, was slashed above the eye and bitten on his cheek. Michael "The Gook" Couls, 33 (current CRO MAGS bassist & member of the DMS crew) was cut in the lung, under his left armpit to his heart and on his arm.

Thankfully, Couls is out of the hospital and is ready to keep rocking. Like most musicians, he doesn't have medical insurance and now has significant medical bill to take care of. This is why his family (wife and baby daughter) have set up a PayPal account. Here is a message from Couls' wife:
"PLEASE IF ANYONE CAN MAKE A

And the statement from HarleY???
Harleys statement was that he meant to kill the current bass player so that The Cro Mags will never play without him again. And he got stabbed 3 times. Under his left armpit almost imapling his heart, his lungs and arm.
