Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Lindsey Buckingham was targeted in an incident involving a suspected stalker Wednesday morning in Santa Monica, The Los Angeles Times reported.
The Los Angeles Police Department told the newspaper that a woman with a documented history of stalking the 76-year-old musician threw an unknown substance from a container in his direction as he arrived at a building for a scheduled appointment. Buckingham was not injured.
Law enforcement officials said the suspect is known to Buckingham and has previously been the subject of action by the LAPD’s Threat Management Unit. Investigators believe the woman obtained information about the time and location of the musician’s appointment in advance.
