He was unharmed and was able to continue his lecture on limits of free speech after the protestors were removed from the audience.

This hasn’t been the first attack. In 2010, he was attacked by protestors during a lecture and was head-butted. Later that week two men were arrested for an attempt to burn his home resulting in Lars going into hiding. He was also the target of
