Comedian Dave Chappelle was assaulted on stage during his set at the Hollywood Bowl on Tuesday
00:05
night. Several attendees posted clips of the incident which have since been circulating
00:09
online, seeming to show Chappelle on stage performing when a man rushes at him and tackles
00:14
him to the floor. The man is then seen being dragged away by security. LAPD told the Hollywood
00:20
reporter that the 23-year-old suspect Isaiah Lee was arrested on suspicion of assault with
00:25
a deadly weapon. He's currently being held on $30,000 bail. NBC News Los Angeles reported
00:31
that the man was armed with a replica gun that can eject a knife blade when discharged correctly.
00:36
It wasn't immediately clear if the man tried to use the weapon. But it shows Chappelle recover
00:41
his composure and joke it was a trans man, a reference to the ongoing controversy surrounding
00:46
some of the comedian's jokes in his Netflix specials that have been construed as transphobic.
00:51
It was also reported that Chris Rock, who performed earlier in the evening, then came
00:55
on stage and joked,
00:56
Later, Chappelle thanked Jamie Foxx for helping during the incident, and Foxx addressed the
01:03
crowd, saying,
01:04
For every comedian who comes out here, this means everything. You're a genius. You're a legend.
01:09
I enjoyed myself thoroughly, and we're not going to let nothing happen to you.
01:13
Chappelle was performing as part of the Netflix is a Joke Fest, an 11-day stand-up comedy festival
01:18
backed by the streaming giant Netflix.
01:20
The attack on Chappelle is likely to reignite worries in the comedy community about audience
01:25
members rushing the stage and attacking comedians. The issue was highlighted after Will Smith
01:30
slapped Chris Rock at the Oscars last month. For more on this story, head to THR.com.
