Michael Lohan Reportedly Attacked In Santa Monica

Santa Monica law enforcement sources confirmed they responded to a 911 call at 9:56 last night to find Michael Lohan shirtless with scratches on his neck.

The celebrity day explained that as he was getting into his car, he was approached from behind and someone attempted to choke him. Lohan went on to say that he fought with the attacker for a few minutes before the assailant ran off. The attacker was described as a 50-60(?) year old male wearing a black running suit.

It appears Michael suffered no major injuries (or permanent damage from the attacker's cane) that would keep him from following today's legal proceedings that will determine if his daughter Lindsay will be sent back to Jail.

*Update* - A recent article on tmz reports the following account: 

"Michael claims he was attacked outside his home in Santa Monica, CA. Michael told police ... about an hour before the incident, he received a threatening phone call. We're told shortly after the call, Michael went out for cigarettes -- that's when he says the attack occurred.
Mike explained to police when he went to open his car door, he was jumped from behind. We're told the suspect, whom Michael says is in his 50s or 60s, began choking him and had some kind of sharp object which he used to slice Michael's neck.  Michael says the knife penetrated his skin and caused substantial bleeding.
