The Los Angeles Police Department tells ET that they have in custody the man they believe attacked Dave Chappelle on Tuesday night at the Hollywood Bowl during the Netflix Is A Joke Festival.
Police say that a 23-year-old Black man named Isaiah Lee was detained, booked on $30,000 bail and charged with assault with a deadly weapon.
On Tuesday at approximately 10:45 p.m. PT, authorities tell ET that Chappelle had just finished performing when a man jumped on stage and attacked the 48-year-old comedian and pointed a replica gun with a blade at him.
The attacker was seen in one video outside the venue on a stretcher with a bent elbow, and was reportedly taken to the hospital for "superficial injuries."
Police told the NBC Los Angeles that neither Chappelle or any officer was injured, and Chappelle did continue the show following the scary incident.
ET has reached out to Netflix and Chappelle for comment.
