Michael van Gerwen punched in face by stranger in Dutch bar on King's Day

Michael van Gerwen was punched in the face by a stranger while at a bar in Den Bosch, Netherlands, on King's Day. The 37-year-old Dutch darts star said the attacker "clearly had too much to drink" and apologized via Instagram. Van Gerwen decided not to press charges and expressed regret at his automatic reaction of chasing after the attacker. The incident occurred before his Premier League match in Aberdeen, where he lost 6-3 to Luke Humphries in the quarter-finals.
