We got our hands on the video that is going around the internet right now of Dave Chappelle being attacked on stage while performing by a random fan. Chappelle was hosting his special in Los Angeles titled “Netflix is a Joke” festival. Footage from the show features the man tackling Chappelle toward the end of his set, knocking him to the ground. Law enforcement sources spoke to TMZ, and they revealed that the man was holding a replica of a semi-automatic gun, which had a knife attached to it.
The attacker was later arrested for assault with a deadly weapon, and Dave continued on with his set, telling the crowd, “I don’t know if that was part of the show. I grabbed the back of that n***** head, his hair was spongy, absorbent.”

Woah! He straight up football tackled #DaveChappelle and Dave took it like a champ. The suspect got twisted though. Arms aren't supposed to bend that way. pic.twitter.com/aYsDkSJQlB
