The 52-year-old comedian – who was criticized by Dave Chappelle last January – was performing Saturday night at the Indiana Farmers Coliseum in Indianapolis when a fight between fans broke out.
While TMZ’s initial report seemed to indicate more of the show was affected, a spokesperson for the comedian said only five minutes of the show were cut.
Video of the event was taken away from the scuffle in the upper deck section, although there was no clear view of the altercation.
The video shows the house lights still off during the performance, as usual, although fans can be heard reacting to the ongoing brawl.

A number of security guards are seen rushing to disperse the scene, while other fans turn for the lights to come on.
Moments later, the lights came on, with footage taken after the scene showing some of the attendees, one of whom appeared bloodied.
Williams himself has not publicly commented on the fight at this time, although his team has stated the reason why the lights came on.
Members of the comedian’s team said they believed it was the venue’s policy to turn the lights back on after a show.
They don’t think the lights were turned on to illuminate the fight, but simply because the show was ending earlier than usual.
The venue was evacuated early due to the brawl, although it is unclear how Williams reacted to the show’s premature end.
It is also unclear what caused the fight, or whether any criminal charges were filed as a result.
Katt made headlines for his criticism of many black comedians in his viral interview with Shannon Sharpe, for which Dave Chappelle criticized him at MonDeRays at Hollywood Improv on Friday night.

A clip appeared on X, in which Chappelle said, “What part of the game is this?” He etherealized n****s. He didn’t say anything about any of these white boys. None of these white boys work like that.
Continuing to emphasize his point, the longtime comic added, “Katt is one of the best painters in the game. So why are you drawing ugly drawings of us?” Stop. Hurt people, hurt people, but I’m a hurt person who has never hurt people, and he does it all the time.
The conversation between host Shannon Sharpe and Williams was widely shared across the Internet and was even parodied on the latest episode of Saturday Night Live.
