‘I thank God for looking out for me and giving my old ass the ability to Bob and weave because this could have ended in a horrible way.’
In the video the attacker, who was sitting in the front row, jumped on stage and began assaulting Brown, which was caught on video and uploaded to Facebook.
To begin with the two men are seen circling each one another with their fists up. However, things take a dramatic turn when the audience member reaches for the microphone stand and starts swinging it at Brown, which hits his arm.

Clearly shocked and astounded the audience members began screaming while the man in question continued to swing the stand aggressively at Brown who was merely protecting himself.
The individual then threw the stand at him just missing the comedian and picked up a chair instead which he launched at Brown.
At this point people began to intervene, two men jump on the stage and ushered the attacker away.
