ON this date in 1982 - Rod Stewart was mugged in Los Angeles in broad daylight.
He was not hurt.
Rod reported the incident to LAPD and crack detectives Bun Man and Mr. Purple were assigned to the case.
They interrogated Rod for 5 hours, but Rod didn't crack under pressure, nor did he reveal the name of his attackers.

Great story.
Rod was my first concert. I got the tickets for my 16th birthday, but it wasn't the tickets that made me happy, it was being granted permission to go to concerts. It was a freedom I desperately wanted. 🎶
And imitation is a true joke, I saw Rod and Faces in '72 at Boston Garden, and I thought he was every bit the showman Jagger was at that time.
Bun and P left the interrogation room to report their progress to the Capt. and the Capt. said "Hey, Rod's been impersonating a rock star for over 20 years now, so getting reality from him, isn't very likely."
Bun cracked up...Bun returned to the interrogation room and informed Stewart that they would keep the case open, but no arrests were made.
Sadly, Rod Stewart continued to evolve into a Singer of Standards...
Who would've thought?
