While performing at Los Angeles' famed Hollywood Bowl, Dave Chappelle was attacked by a man who rushed the stage and tackled the comedian to the ground in the middle of his set.
The comedian was performing as part of the "Netflix Is A Joke" festival.
Witnesses say, and multiple videos show the assailant being swarmed by multiple individuals after attacking the 48-year-old Chappelle.
