"Police would like to thank the members of the public for their assistance," SA Police said in a statement.The Adelaide Fringe Festival began on Friday, and the city is currently playing host to hundreds of performers from across the country and around the world.

Hahaha so funny 😅🤣😂

I mean what else are you supposed to do in Adelaide, listen to buskers?!

nickschadegg

And yet some people say Adelaide can be boring! 🤔

He must have been a terrible player. Thats the reason I don't busk

Was he leaning on a lamppost till a certain little lady came by and shouting turned out nice again

I sympathize with the attacker

Gold !

He must be really bad

Why on earth would you do that?

Good thing he didn't play the cello.

Horrendous senseless act of violence. Equally unbelievable are the comments laughing at the victim or approving of the violence. Even if they’re “joking” we have a long way before beliefs reinforcing toxic masculinity are considered inappropriate by society.

Thats an acoustic bass in the pic, not a ukulele

'carrying an offensive weapon' is one of the charges. Is a ukelele an offensive weapon, or did he also have an nail file?

It is common courtesy to use your own ukulele for a beating...

Lucky he wasn’t a piano player

Not all heroes wear capes.

Good

Spannerx12 You're in trouble dude...😂😂

Ukelele's can have that effect on some people. I am like that with bagpipes.

A critic from Rolling Stone ?

Jeez. How bad was his music?
