Atacking Vampires

Hi! This question is disturbing the games I have been played. If I atack a untapped vampire (in a Bum's Rush action, for example), the atacked vampire have to tap? Or not?

Tapping only occurs in 3 ways - 1 - When announcing an action, you tap the acting minion. 2 - After you've successfully matched blocking conditions (like Stealth vs. Intercept), the blocking minion is tapped. 3 - Explicit card text like Mind Numb and Faceless Night Getting attacked while walking down the street a la Bum's Rush doesn't tap the target minion.

Wouldn't it tap the vampire (or any minion) if they "blocked" the Rush in order to prevent the optional manuver associated with the card? I would assume so, but, no mention was made of this...
