The man who hopped on stage and began attacking comedian Steve Brown during a performance over the weekend has been arrested and charged with multiple counts of assault, reported The Blast.
Marvin Toatley was hit with three counts of assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature, one count of assault and battery third degree, and one count of malicious injury to property, announced Richland County Sheriff Leon Lott Wednesday.
The attack went down Sunday night while Brown was performing a set at the Comedy House in Columbia, SC. An audience member filmed Toatley, allegedly unprovoked, get on stage and begin going at Brown with his fists, followed by the microphone stand, and finally a stool.
Toatley fled the scene after the attack leaving Brown with a wound to his arm after being hit with the mic stand.
Brown later posted a video to Instagram letting fans know he was doing fine.
“The thing is, the dude wasn’t being heckled, nobody was messing with him,” Brown claimed while speaking on what went down. “All of a sudden, the dude just got up, and lost his mind. I asked him if he was OK. I had to give him the comedian disclaimer: If you come onstage, your ass is open game. So you saw what happened.”
