Former “Saturday Night Live” star Chris Redd is publicly detailing his experience being attacked last month outside a famed New York City comedy club where he was scheduled to perform.
In a preview of Tuesday's", produced by the Daily Beast, Redd, 37, said he sustained two fractures in his nose and one fracture in his cheek as a result of the unprovoked attack outside the Comedy Cellar in Manhattan's Greenwich Village neighborhood on Oct. 26 just after 9:30 p.m..
Redd, a former five-season cast member of SNL who announced in September he would not be returning for the show's current season, said the assault occurred as he was arriving at the club to perform three comedy sets and texting his cousin who was working at the Olive Tree Cafe, located directly above the club, to get some fries before his first set.
"I've been boxing for, like, years ... I've taken a punch to the face before, so it wasn't terrifying, but what was worrisome is how much blood was coming out of my face," he said, adding,"a fist don't normally do all of that at one time, so it was safe to assume I was hit with something [else]." Police added that Redd was treated at NYC Health and Hospitals/Bellevue for a fractured nose before being released.
