The man who attacked Dave Chappelle on stage at the Hollywood Bowl is facing four misdemeanor charges.
Los Angeles City Attorney Mike Feuer posted the update on Twitter.
“What should have been an evening of laughter at The Hollywood Bowl this past Tuesday night was suddenly interrupted when suspect Isaiah Lee allegedly charged onto the stage attacking comedian Dave Chappelle,” Feuer said.
“The suspect was allegedly carrying a weapon,” he added. “This alleged attack has got to have consequences.”
The 23-year-old aspiring rapper has been hit with charges of battery, possession of a weapon with intent to assault, unauthorized access to the stage area during a performance and commission of an act that delays the event or interferes with the performer.
Chappelle responded to the attack with a statement from his rep.
“The performances by Chappelle at the Hollywood Bowl were epic and record-breaking and he refuses to allow last night’s incident to overshadow the magic of this historic moment,” his publicist, Carla Sims, said.
