Dave Chappelle ATTACKED on Stage in LA [Video]

In news just in, comedian Dave Chappelle was attacked while performing at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles.

The shocking scenes after the jump…

The comic was mid-set at the Netflix Is A Joke event when a man rushed to the stage and took him down.

Clearly flustered, Chappelle tried to regain composure after the man was taken away by security. Indeed, he quipped “it was a trans man” – a reference to the controversy that followed his special ‘The Closer.’

Watch the clip, which has been shared by attendees on social media, below:

The scenes will no doubt drum up a renewed conversation around Will Smith slapping comic Chris Rock at the Oscars after a joke gone wrong.

UPDATE: Multiple sources have confirmed that the attacker was found to have been armed with both a gun and knife. Neither were used during the incident.
