Comedian sued in fight case

Williams, others accused of hitting 18- year- old in van

OAKLAND — An 18year old aspiring rapper who claims he was “viciously attacked and beaten” by comedian Katt Williams inside the performer’s tour van Wednesday night has sued Williams and his promoters.

Oakland civil rights attorney Pamela Price filed the civil suit in Alameda County Superior Court on Friday afternoon on behalf of Delvahn Mosley- Davis, who Price said has severe injuries to his head, neck, arms, torso and face. The man said Williams and his bodyguard both hit him with fists, and then one of them smashed a bottle over his head. Price said Mosley-Davis tried to defend himself during the brawl. “He tried to hit back, and the bodyguard hit him,” she said.

Williams’ agent did not return several calls and an email for comment Thursday and Friday. Williams could not be reached for comment Friday.

Williams was never booked into jail and was released from custody Thursday morning without any formal charges filed.

Williams, whose real name is Micah S. Katt Williams, is an actor, comedian and rapper known for his roles in the movies “Friday After Next” and “Norbit.” Price said the teen and a group of female and male friends happened upon Williams, 41, and his crew outside the Courtyard Marriott on Broadway on Wednesday evening.

Williams is on a tour with a stop in Oakland on Friday.

“The group of ( young people) were downtown and discovered Katt Williams on the street and were engaging him and trying to meet him and get his autograph,” Price said.

Williams allegedly invited the group into the tour van but then ordered everyone except his bodyguards and friends and Mosley- Davis to leave. Williams and Mosley- Davis began a “rap battle,” and then out of nowhere Williams swung his fist at the victim, Price said.

Price said she was told that the comedian also pointed a gun at Mosley-Davis, but police would not confirm that.

Police were first called about 8 p. m. about a man bleeding from the head in the 900 block of Broadway. Williams was arrested a short time later in the 200 block of Washington Street in downtown. He was released about 11 a. m. Thursday after police questioned him and other witnesses.

Mosley- Davis was taken to Highland Hospital, where he was treated and released, Price said.
