David told the Daily News on what happened: "Katt was attacked by a mad woman in camera. A girlfriend of Katt's quite rightly defended him, but there was no altercation."
This incident took place just days after Knight was released from hospital after a suffering from multiple bullet wounds at a private party for Chris Brown at 1Oak nightclub in West Hollywood. This unsolved shooting happened last August 24.
Knight was charged with one count of second degree robbery, an offense considered a violent felony. He already has a conviction for assault with a deadly weapon and if convicted he could face 30 years to life in jail. Williams, 41, also face the same charge and will face seven years in jail if convicted, according to the prosecutors.
Williams is also involved in a separate assault last July when a victim claims he was pepper sprayed by the comedian at LAX airport.
The prosecutors are now asking for US$1 million bail for Knight and US$75, 000 for Williams. This new case of felony robbery is under the investigation of Beverly Hills Police Department.
