After the incident, according to The Hollywood Reporter, video footage showed Chappelle saying, “It was a trans man,” which appeared to be a joke.

BuzzFeed News reporter Brianna Sacks, who was in the audience, claimed the man “got his ass kicked” by security.

The Los Angeles Police Department also said they were not aware of the condition of the male suspect. In a video clip circulating on social media purported to have been taken after the incident, the alleged attacker did appear to have an injury to his arm.
