Elvis Gets Ovation For One Punch LAS VEGAS, Nev. (AP) -- Singer Elvis Presley got a standing ovation during a show here - but it wasn't for his singing. Presley was on stage at the Las Vegas Hilton when four men climbed out of the crowd of 1,750, interrupting his act. A hotel spokesman said Presley used a karate-like chop to knock one of the men from the stage. A band member tackled another and the remaining two left quickly. The crowd gave a big ovation. The men were booked for investigation of drunkness, but Clark County sheriff's deputies said Presley did not press charges. No injuries were reported. |
