kweli and Mos Def do their set while LAPD cruisers start arriving behind the stage. Then Jamie Fox comes out in a cowboy hat, looking absolutely shocked, and Chapelle makes a joke about stomping the guy, who is still getting beat up. Chapelle kept on while the guy was getting beat in the back. He was just about to bring on Talib Kweli and Mos Def for the encode and we in the crowd were like what the f**k is going on. “Security et al rushed and started punching and kicking the s**t out of Chapelle’s attacker.
The comedian had literally just said he now has more security because of all the uproar from his jokes about the Trans community.”
“The show was just ending when the man hopped onto stage and ran at Chapelle, form tackling him to the ground. According to Buzzfeed reporter Brianna Sacks, who happened to be in the audience at the time of the incident, the aftermath was pure chaos (below): Jamie Foxx and Busta Rhymes were apparently among the stars backstage at the event on Tuesday night, as well as Mos Def and Talib Kweli. Quickly, security swarmed and, as the observer told the outlet, “the mob caught up with him and beat the crap out of him, stomping on him.” You can see a clip of the moment Chappelle was tackled HERE.
For one, how did the attacker get past security and metal detectors at the venue with that thing?!Įven more horrifying, early on Wednesday morning, the LAPD confirmed to media outlets that the fake gun could “eject” the knife blade attached to it “when you discharge it correctly.” It’s not clear if the man was ever able to discharge the apparent weapon on stage, but obviously, even just the thought of that possibility is chilling.Īfter Dave was attacked, witnesses in the audience told TMZ that the attacker tried to flee the stage. Still, he was tackled unexpectedly by the person who rushed at him, briefly landing hard on the ground before security was able to rush in and separate them.Īs for the attacker, TMZ reports that the fake gun the man carried was “a replica of a semi-automatic,” which is both horrifying and confusing. While shocked by it, he continued to perform on stage in the immediate moments following the unsettling act. Thankfully, it doesn’t appear as though the Chappelle’s Show alum was seriously injured during the incident.
