BREAKING: No felony charges will be filed against man who attacked Dave Chappelle onstage at the Hollywood Bowl Tuesday night, L.A. County DA's office says.
A replica handgun containing a knife blade which a suspect was allegedly carrying when he attacked comedian Dave Chappelle onstage at the Hollywood Bowl on May 3, 2022. Brianna Sacks, a reporter for BuzzFeed who was at the event, told CBSLA that the 48-year-old Chappelle had finished his stand-up set and returned to the stage to introduce rappers Yasiin Bey and Talib Kweli when the attack occurred.
Police said Lee was taken to a hospital before being booked on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon. Sacks took video of Lee on a stretcher, in which people can be heard booing him as he is loaded into an ambulance. His arm appeared to be dislocated and his face battered. There was no word on a motive. Lee was an aspiring rapper who had posted a song to YouTube referencing Chappelle.
