LOS ANGELES (AP) — Comedian Dave Chappelle was tackled during a performance at the Hollywood Bowl Tuesday night.

Chappelle was performing his standup routine at the amphitheater as part of the “Netflix Is a Joke” festival when the man rushed on stage and tackled him. Jamie Foxx was in the wings of the stage and Chappelle thanked him for responding to the attack. Mendez said a “famous comedian was performing” when Lee jumped onto the stage, tackled the celebrity and produced the replica handgun containing a knife blade.

Social media footage appears to show a man charging onstage and tackling the comedian during his set at the Netflix Is a Joke festival.

In a video on social media, the comedian quips that his attacker “was a trans man,” referencing backlash to jokes Chappelle made about trans people during his 2021 Netflix special, The Closer. Chris Rock, who performed a set earlier in the evening, reportedly joined Chappelle onstage and joked about the infamous Oscars slap as well. As police carted the man away, musicians Mos Def and Talib Kweli performed, according to the reporter. The Los Angeles Police Department confirmed to NBC News Los Angeles that they took the attacker into custody after his onstage disturbance.

Isaiah Lee, 23, has been arrested and charged with assault after he rushed the stage at Dave Chappelle's show and attacked the comedian.

The Hollywood Bowl said on its website that Tuesday’s show was meant to be a “ phone-free experience,” with audience members being required to secure their phones in special pouches. Chappelle supported J.K. Rowling during the special, agreeing with her that “gender is a fact.” He was attending Chappelle’s show as a member of the audience. He was in the midst of thanking earlier performers Chris Rock, Leslie Jones and Jon Stewart when Lee rushed the stage. He was obviously in shock. (The gender identity of the attacker has not been verified.)

Instead of the actual Chappelle coming to the stage, video footage of Chappelle accepting the Just For Laughs Festival’s comedy person of the year award played for a confused and slightly agitated crowd. After Stewart, the stage went dark and Chris Rock walked out on stage to a standing ovation, wearing all white. Stewart did, however, get a big laugh when he used the word “faggot” in a joke about other rights that the Supreme Court might take away. Stewart said that he “wrote a bunch of stuff in the hotel” before launching into an emotional tirade about the state of democracy in America. “It's over. “They're jokes,” he said repeatedly in between punchlines, to the roar of the crowd. Right after finishing his last set at the 2022 Netflix Is a Joke festival in Los Angeles, Dave Chappelle was attacked when an audience member rushed the stage and tackled the comedian.

The shocking incident brought a swarm of people on stage, including Jamie Foxx, who then took the mic and said, "Nigga, I thought that was part of the show," before trailing off. But after the community tried to cancel him, he joked, that now he does have an issue with the transgender community. On Wednesday, LAPD said that it was "Hollywood Bowl uniformed security officers, who witnessed the incident, engaged the suspect and removed him from the victim and took him into custody." The attack was stunning to watch, and at first, it was difficult for the audience to discern what was going on. Chappelle had just ended his set and the crowd was moving toward the exits when the comedian came back onstage for an encore. "Dave Chappelle celebrated four nights of comedy and music, setting record-breaking sales for a comedian at the Hollywood Bowl," Sims said in a statement. Once free, Chappelle moved back to the center of the stage as a crowd of people cornered the attacker in the back. Before the onstage attack, Chappelle, who has faced fierce rebuke for comments he made about transgender people during a Netflix special, joked about having more security onstage because of the danger comedians now face after Will Smith slapped Chris Rock, who also performed at the show. However, Aaron Lee said his little brother has a history of mental illness and being unhoused since the age of 11. Later Wednesday, police released photos of the replica handgun, which contained a knife blade. LAPD also did not have any information as to how the suspect got the weapons through metal detectors. Police have identified the suspect as Isaiah Lee, who is being held on $30,000 bail.

Others noted that Chappelle had spoken about the recent Oscars incident in which Best Actor winner Will Smith slapped presenter Chris Rock over a joke about Smith's wife, Jada Pinkett Smith's hair.
