![Whitney Houston -- Prescription Drugs Found ... Possible Drowning [Exclusive Photo Update]](http://ll-media.tmz.com/2012/02/12/0211-hero-whitney2-248x127.jpg)
The surveillance video of Pearl Jam bassist Jeff Ament getting attacked by a knife wielding thug has just been released -- and his beatdown is brutal!
It all went down in Atlanta in April, when three masked hoodlums ran out of the bushes and jumped the dude's SUV, smashing the windows and demanding cash.
Ament tried to make a run for it -- but was knocked to the ground by one of the assailants. Ament suffered a laceration on his head and was treated at the scene. The attackers made off with $7,000 worth of money and goods.
No arrests have been made.

Sorry to see that happen. It's weird how the people coming out of the house didn't immediately run down to see how the guy who was beaten up was doing, they just kind of wandered around and back inside... maybe he was saying he was okay, but still... And why was the SUV parking like that?

People today are total COWARDS. The guys inside went back inside instead of helping the guy being attacked even after the attackers were running away the guy on the ground was left to his own devices and the guy at the building door didn't run to see if he was hurt bad???
Hate to say it and I am probably wrong, but it seemed like the back pack was the item wanted. The crook ran around like he knew the passenger was the one to get, they left the driver alone???
My first thought was drugs and or money...owed or just known to have them???
Sorry guy who got attacked, but that is what it looks like...I hope I am wrong.
Your friends are COWARDLY boys. Real Men that are brave are few to be found, including the cowardly crooks.

That was Southern Tracks Studios. I doubt Pearl Jam would be involved with a $7000 dope deal with common street trash. That's just Atlanta, total hell hole of crime and violence. Blame the cops, they do nothing and ATL is the most dangerous city in the US.

Why did the driver park like that?
Why did he just sit there and then get out and go towards the woods?
Why did they have $7000.00?
Drug deal of some sort and cowardly friends for sure.
