"Brody Jenner is recovering at home after being assaulted in an unprovoked attack this past Saturday night. He appreciates all the calls of support and well wishes," the statement reads, according to the Los Angeles Times. "As this is an ongoing police investigation, there will be no further statements at this time."
Although little is known about the events of the night, sources tell UsMagazine.com that the altercation took place at Beacher's Madhouse at the Roosevelt.

"Brody came over aggressively and got involved," the source said. "They were scuffling on the floor. ... Brody was the aggressor and had five guys with him. When they finally got up Brody was bleeding." Another man reportedly came to the defense of the woman Lavigne was fighting.
The source added that "there was no bottle with blood and no bottle broken or anything like that [visible]."Representatives for Lavigne had not responded to MTV News' request for comment by press time.
