Cops Called On Artie Lange For Brawl Just Days Before Arrest — Watch The Video
- 6 years ago
Just days before Artie Lange was arrested and sent to rehab for his long battle with drug addiction, the comedian got into a full-out brawl with a friend in the lobby of a seedy New York hotel — and it was all caught on camera!
In RadarOnline.com's exclusive video, an agitated Lange, 50, paces the room before grabbing a large brown bag from a friend's arms in the week hours of December 6.
"This is my bag for the room," Lange attempts to explain to the receptionist. "He's hitting me! He's assaulting me!"
A hotel employee eventually breaks up the fight.
Days later, Lange was arrested for failing to appear in court for a heroin and cocaine arrest earlier this year.
After seeking medical attention for his addiction and diabetes in jail, Lange was released and immediately checked into a Florida rehab.
On Friday, his lawyer told Radar that his inner circle was doing everything they could to "save Artie's life."
"Sentencing will be held in abeyance while Artie gets the inpatient treatment he so desperately needs," Attorny Frank Arleo said. "Please keep Artie in your prayers.”
Lange is due back in court on February 23.
