Fans were left stunned when PEOPLE reported that Hannah-Kim filed a police report against Kove over alleged assault.
In the police report, the 37-year-old actor claimed that she approached the ‘Cobra Kai’ cast booth at Summer Con and tapped Martin Kove on the shoulder to greet him.
However, the 78-year-old Hollywood actor grabbed Alicia Hannah-Kim’s arm and bit her upper arm with such force that it nearly drew blood.
She reportedly screamed out in pain. Kove then allegedly kissed the area he had bitten.
When Alicia Hannah-Kim and her husband Sebastian Roché wanted to talk about the assault, Martin Kove “exploded on them, saying something to the effect of how dare they confront him, and he did not do anything wrong,” as per the police report.
