Troubled comedian Katt Williams will be charged for sucker-punching a teen at soccer game last week, Atlanta’s WSB-TV reports.
The 42-year-old comic was caught on video throwing a punch at 17-year-old Luke Wash after the two got into a verbal altercation during a game in Melrose, Fla.
Wash then tackled Williams to the ground and put him in a chokehold before the crowd on hand broke up the fight.
It’s unclear what sparked the original argument, but Williams apparently told the Georgia teen to “come to the side” of the field to hash things out, according to the boy’s uncle.
“I was like, wow, that’s him,” Cedric Wash told The News Friday. “Why is my nephew in a grown man’s face.”

Katt Williams, seen here after being arrested following an alleged altercation with a pool store employee, will reportedly be charged for sucker-punching a teen.
Later that same day, Williams wanted to meet up with the boy again to square off for a second time, Cedric Wash said.
“My nephew told me after the altercation happened, Katt Williams went on Instagram and he told Luke to meet at the same spot so they can fight again.”
Williams then appeared to recount the throwdown to the audience at his Barclays Center show on Friday.
“Even though we’re the same size, you’re a little boy; I’m a grown-a– man,” Williams said in a fan-recorded video. “I just want you to have a bloody mouth so you can have that lesson later — that that’s what happens when you say slick s–t to grown a– men.”
The comedian also clarified that he had thought Wash was 19.
Williams is currently facing charges from three different arrests in recent weeks, including allegedly assaulting a pool store employee and for reportedly attacking his own bodyguard.
