Moment a man pulls a GUN on Mike Tyson during comedy gig in Hollywood and the boxing champ hugs him

Dramatic footage captured the moment former heavyweight champ Mike Tyson embraced an armed man who moments earlier pulled out a gun after trying to fight him at a Hollywood comedy club. 

On Tuesday an unidentified man was filmed interrupting a comedy set at a Hollywood rooftop bar to challenge Mike Tyson to a fight in a deranged attempt to ‘elevate his status’, TMZ reported. 

The bar’s MC interrupts the random man’s tirade and and asks him to get out. That MC then proceeds to shove the troublemaker away from the stage. 

But the man, wearing a white t-shirt and black leather jacket tries to play off the situation, saying: ‘I don’t give a f***! I’m joking’ as the host pushes him towards the exit.

Its then the man says ‘look, this is easy’ and pulls out a gun from his waistband and cocks it, shocking the MC and drawing gasps from crowd members. 

Almost immediately the man seems to change his mind and puts the gun back into his waistband and says: ‘I’m out of here’ and walks towards the exit.   

He then stops and looks at Tyson who is seated in the front row and says ‘Hey I love you fam, salute to all of your accomplishments, for real, if it wasn’t for you we wouldn’t have no inspiration, I love you OG, for real. From the heart, for real.  Respect.’

When he is told to leave once again he says ‘I told you am just joking’ laughing it off. 

Tyson who the entire time has been sitting calmly, appearing unphased, calls the man over.  

The armed man says ‘No’, because he fears the owners will call the police, but Tyson insists. The man then goes in for a handshake and the two then hug it out.

The man then screams ‘New York! Brownsville!’ referencing the neighborhood Tyson grew up in, before firmly shaking his hand again, grasping it tightly with two hands and leaning in with his forehead. 

He then shouts ‘Shalawam!’ which translates to ‘May peace be with you’ in Hebrew and salutes Tyson before walking away. 

As the MC tells him to head out, he once again grows confrontational and calls him a ‘sucker’ 

‘You a bitch a** n*****, you not an OG,’ he says before he finally leaves.

After he is finally gone, the person recording thanks Tyson and the tense crowd applauds him. 

Even after he left attendees were shaken and some did not want to leave right away out of fear the armed man was still waiting for them in the streets, TMZ reported.   

Despite the scare, LAPD said they were never called, TMZ reported, and the armed man was not identified.
