23-year-old isaiah lee. he was apparently armed with a replica gun that somehow contained some sort of knife. he has been charged with assault with a deadly weapon. chappelle himself appeared unhurt. he stayed on stage and talked about grabbing the attacker and said he didn t know if it was part of the show. coincidentally as you were just referencing chris rock was also here at the festival as one of chappelle s guests. he walked on stage a little later and said was that will smith, the reference to the incident at the oscars when chris rock was attacked by will smith over a joke that rock had made about smith s wife. at the time people said it was a dangerous precedent smith was setting that enabled anyfwoed to justify attacking a comedian who offended them. we don t know the motivation for this attack.
