Page Six has revealed additional details about the assault. It was reported that the attacker was 23-year-old Isaiah Lee. Lee was taken to the hospital after being beaten down by a mob who was trying to protect Dave Chappelle, where he was then arrested.

Lee is being held on $30,000 bail. Initial reports were that he was carrying a gun at the time of the attack. It is now known that the weapon was only a replica.
