Dave Chappelle Jokes About Attempted Attack On Him!

Rushing Dave got a man a two piece meal.

Dave Chappelle and Chris Rock escape an attack on stage. Chappelle's security broke the suspect's arm.

Chappelle is still facing heat for his jokes on transgender Americans. He stepped up security after a group of vandals urinated on his Yellow Springs, Ohio property while he was home.

Chappelle was attacked at the Hollywood Bowl. A man rushed the stage and tackled him as he was wrapping up his comedy act. The comedian/actor was not injured. 

The suspect was carrying a prop firearm and a knife.

The Los Angeles Police Department told CBS Los Angeles a 23-year-old man armed with a replica handgun that contained a knife blade was arrested and accused of assault with a deadly weapon.

Police identified the suspect. He lives of Los Angeles and said he was being held on $30,000 bail.


Fellow comedians praised Chappelle for keeping the show going despite being shaken by the ordeal.

Jamie Foxx, an actor, singer, game show host and comedian checked on Chappelle. 

Rock on the other hand took the opportunity to address the feud with Will Smith.

He jokingly asked if the attacker was Will Smith — who made headlines by bounding up onstage and slapping Rock at the Academy Awards in March.

Chappelle drew a sharp rebuke late last year from the transgender community for jokes at their expense featured in his latest Netflix special, "The Closer," which premiered in October.

Netflix stood by the Washington, D.C., native, continuing to air the special despite hundreds of its own employees staging a walkout over what they deemed Chappelle's transphobic jokes.

The infamous Oscar slap will go down in history. Smith went onstage and slapped Rock after he made a joke at Jada Pinkett Smith. She gave Will a growling stare and he immediately went onstage and slapped Rock while he was preparing his nomination speech.

The infamous incident created memes and a forever tarnish on Smith's career. He was permanently banned from the Academy Awards for ten years. He did not lose his Oscar for Best Male Actor.

Rock did not press charges on Smith. He said he will not address Smith in public. He said he's already moved on from the controversy.

Chappelle who is often warning fans to refrain from recording his stand up acts, was filmed being tackled by a man who thought he was lucky. Unfortunately he wasn't that lucky, he faces felonious assault, reckless endangerment, trespassing and carrying a knife and/or firearm with intentions of harm.

The suspect could face up to 30 years in the iron college if convicted. The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
