AceShowbiz - Chris Rock has had an intruder scare. The "Dolemite Is My Name" actor has just been reported to have called the police for catching an unidentified trespasser on the fire escape of his New York City apartment.
A source from the law enforcement told Fox News Digital that the 58-year-old comedian made the police report at around 8 P.M. on Sunday, June 4. He was said to inform the cops that "an unknown person went on to his fire escape."
It was still unclear what motive the intruder had, but the source claimed the unidentified man was believed to be in his 20s and "didn't attempt to gain entry, but Rock said he saw him filming." The source further revealed that the trespasser "fled in a white Mercedes."
In its report, New York City Police Department, per Fox News Digital, detailed, "The victim states he observed through his window an individual outside on the fire escape." They continued, "The man appeared to be filming. When officers arrived, the individual had fled the scene."
As of June 5, no arrests have been made yet, and the incident is still being investigated.
Chris' incident with the trespasser happened nearly two months after he joked about Donald Trump's potential arrest. At the Mark Twain Prize ceremony held at the Kennedy Center on March 19, he asked the audience, "Are you guys really going to arrest Trump? Do you know that this is only going to make him more popular?"
"It is like arresting [Tupac Shakur]. He's just going to sell more records," the "Saturday Night Live" alum continued. "Are you stupid? He slept with a porn star and paid off someone so his wife wouldn't find out. That's romantic."
At the event, Chris also poked fun at him being slapped by Will Smith at 2022 Oscars. Comparing his incident to that of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's husband who suffered a vicious assault by a stranger in his residence in 2022, he quipped, "Paul Pelosi, the only guy who knows how I felt...just you and me Paul."
