According to the New York Daily News' sources, the thugs who assaulted Gavin DeGraw on the streets on Manhattan on Monday morning probably had no idea that he was famous. Robbery is not a suspected motive in the attack, and there were no witnesses to the beating.

"These guys jumped him out of nowhere," a source close to the singer told Us Weekly. "It's weird because they didn't take anything, I think they did it for sport."
