Hong Kong has not been the most welcoming place for Michael Bay, who is in the city to film the fourth “Transformers” film. The director sustained injuries to the right side of his face after being attacked by two men, according to Reuters. The men reportedly claimed Bay owed them compensation for filming in the Quarry Bay area. “When the movie crew was filming, one of the arrested persons was seeking HK$100,000 ($12,900), leading to a scuffle. Another arrested person suddenly attacked him,” a police statement reads. Bay did not seek treatment for his injuries, and filming continued following the arrests.
