The 52-year-old comedian, who was criticized by Dave Chappelle in January, was performing at the Indiana Farmers Coliseum in Indianapolis on Saturday night when a fight broke out between fans.
Several security guards are seen running to stop him, while other fans turn to turn on the lights.
Moments later, the lights came on and subsequent shots showed some of the participants, one of whom appeared to be bloodied.
Williams himself has not commented publicly on the fight at this time, although his team did indicate the reason the lights came on.
Members of the comedian’s team said they believe the venue’s policy is to turn the lights back on after a show.
They do not believe that the lights were turned on to illuminate the brawl, but simply because the show ended earlier than usual.
The venue was evacuated early due to the fight, although it is unclear how Williams reacted when the show ended early.
It is also unknown what caused the fight or if criminal charges have been filed as a result of it.
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 the Hollywood Improv on Friday night.

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 the Hollywood Improv on Friday night.
A clip appeared on x, in which Chappelle said, ‘What part of the game is this? He ethered black people. 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 comedian added: ‘Katt is one of the best painters in the game. So why do you draw ugly pictures for us? Arrest. Hurt people hurt people, but I’m a hurt person who never hurts people, and she does it all the time.’
The conversation between host Shannon Sharpe and Williams has circulated widely on the Internet and was even parodied on the latest episode of Saturday Night Live.
