Dave Chappelle's Hollywood Bowl attacker has opened in an interview and stated that he was triggered by the comedian's jokes.&nbsp; 
 
The American stand up comedian was attacked on stage earlier this month at The Hollywood Bowl. The attacker Isaiah Lee was part of the audience and was arrested soon after he went up on stage and assaulted Chappel.&nbsp; 
 
"I identify as bisexual ... and I wanted him to know what he said was triggering. I wanted him to know that next time, he should consider first running his material by people it could affect," Lee told a news outlet. 
 
He went on to claim that he was there to have fun but Chappelle made jokes which included controversial comments about the LGBTQ community, in addition to making jokes about homelessness.&nbsp; 
 
Lee stated he himself has experienced homelessness. "It's a struggle, and I wanted Dave Chappelle to know it's not a joke," he said and later also added that he does not regret his actions. 
 
Lee faces four misdemeanours, but Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascon has declined to file felony charges.&nbsp; 
Since the incident, though Chappelle has largely joked about the matter during his performances, it has drawn widespread condemnation, even among some of the comedian's critics.&nbsp;

Dave Chappelle's attacker was reportedly 'triggered' by the comedian's jokes

US comedian Dave Chappelle was tackled on stage during his show at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles on Tuesday night, according to multiple US&nbsp;media outlets, citing witnesses at the "Netflix is a Joke" festival and videos. 
Footage circulating on social media showed a man charging on to the stage and tackling Chappelle as he was performing. The comedian was immediately dragged off by security, the videos showed. 
 
Reuters could not immediately verify the footage. 
 
Chappelle was performing at a new, 11-day comedy festival called "Netflix is a Joke," according to organizers. 
Chappelle`s Netflix comedy special "The Closer" was criticized last year by some who saw it as ridiculing transgender people. Supporters of the comedian viewed it as a cry against cancel culture. 
 
The onstage altercation comes a month after actor Will Smith slapped comedian Chris Rock at the Oscars, for which he was banned from the event for 10 years. 
 
According to an ABC report Rock, who performed earlier in the night, came on stage with Chappelle moments after the attack and joked: "Was that Will Smith?" 
 
Chappelle asked repeatedly for security to remove the man from the stage, the ABC report added. 
 
Brianna Sacks, a journalist for BuzzFeed News who said she was at the show, tweeted that the man who charged at Chappelle on stage got kicked by at least 10 people. 
 
"The altercation occurred just when Chappelle’s performance ended and later the actor Jamie Foxx went on stage after the incident looking absolutely shocked," she tweeted.

A representative for the Hollywood Bowl said in an email statement to Reuters that the incident was subject to "an active investigation" and that it was unable to comment further. 
 
Officials for the Los Angeles Police Department did not immediately respond to Reuters request for comment. A spokesperson for Chappelle could not be immediately reached for comment.
