Man charged in attack on Momoa

Stargate Atlantis co-star Jason Momoa was assaulted at a Hollywood cafe last Saturday, November 15, according to a report by the Los Angeles Times.

Twenty-one-year-old Venice resident Dominic Bando argued with Momoa at the cafe, according to the L.A. County district attorney’s office, striking him in the face with a pint beer glass, which shattered.

Momoa needed 140 stitches to his face during reconstructive surgery.

Momoa plays Ronon Dex on Stargate Atlantis, which recently finished filming its fifth and final season. He is expected to return in the first Atlantis movie, rumored to be filming in late spring or early summer of 2009.

Bando is scheduled to be arraigned on December 10, and could get up to seven years in prison.
