Isaiah Lee, the suspect who allegedly tackled comedian Dave Chappelle during his set at the “Netflix is a Joke Festival” at the Hollywood Bowl on Tuesday, will face misdemeanor charges of battery and weapon possession with intent to assault, Los Angeles City Attorney Mike Feuer said.
“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 and tackled comedian Dave Chappelle,” he began in a video clip shared Thursday to Twitter.
Feuer continued that the alleged assault has got to “have consequences,” adding that the attorney’s office is charging Lee with battery, possession of a weapon with intent to assault and charges related to interfering with a performance.
