It was later revealed that Lee has been booked for felony assault with a deadly weapon. The assailant - Isaiah Lee, 23, of Los Angeles - was subsequently removed from the venue by security, whereupon he was arrested by the LAPD and taken to a local hospital for minor injuries. The 48-year-old “Chappelle’s Show” creator had been performing at the “Netflix Is a Joke” festival, in Los Angeles’ Hollywood Bowl, when an unnamed spectator bum-rushed the stage and tackled the comedian to the ground, as seen in shocking footage.
