Astonishing moment irate Spanish father punches comedian in the face on stage for making outrageous 'sexualised' joke about his three-month-old son

This is the shocking moment a Spanish comedian was attacked mid-show by a father who accused him of making 'sexualised' comments about his three-month old son. 

Jaime Caravaca, a Spanish comedian who was in the middle of performing a monologue during a Madrid show on Monday night, was suddenly interrupted by an enraged father, who walked on stage and dealt him a brutal blow to the head. 

The attacker, named as Alberto Pugilato, was heard saying: 'Those paedophilic comments about my son...say them to my face...you piece of trash...now!'. 

The comments far-right activist Pugilato was referring to were made by hard-left comedian Caravaca the day before on social media.

Pugilato had posted a photo of him and his young son on X, with a caption saying 'Pride and joy' - before Caravaca then posted: 'No one will be able to avoid the possibility of [your son] being gay' and that when he is older he will become sick of 'sucking black d***''.

Pugilato then turned up at the comedian's show to confront him - with audience members trying to defuse the situation. 

'What were you saying, huh? That my son was going to eat c***? He's three-months-old. Trash. Now what? Say it to my face...say it to my face now.'

'What were you saying, huh? That my son was going to eat c***? He's three-months-old. Trash. Now what? Say it to my face...say it to my face now,' Pugilato was heard saying in a video that has gone viral in Spain

An unidentified man tries to interfere, to which Pugilato responds: 'I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm just a father who is defending his child. He has made sexualising comments about my three-month-old son.'

He then points to Caravaca and says: 'That has its consequences', before calling him a 'clown'. He then smacks him in the face again and walks off stage. 

Police were later called to the scene, but made no arrests as the comedian chose not to file a complaint against the aggressor.  

Pugilato has since commented on the attack, telling MultiCanal Radio, 'I have been very uneasy, with a feeling that I have not had in my life, very unpleasant and until I have had it in front of me I have not found peace'. 

The video, which surfaced on X, has spread like wildfire, putting its two protagonists in the spotlight. 

Pugilato's motivation for punching the comedian were related to a comment made by Caravaca the day before on X, after the father had posted a photo with his son. In the comments, Caravaca said the baby was gay, and said would become sick from 'sucking black c***'

 Pugilato, a member of a self-titled music band, is also known for his involvement in far-right movements, according to Spanish newsoutlet, El Mundo. He often shares messages against illegal immigration and the LGBT community.

According to El Mundo, his songs also make homophobic, xenophobic and racist remarks. 

In his tune 'I Swear', the lyrics say: 'an iron eagle shows us the way', referencing the Nazi imperial eagle. 

He also has an active social media presence, with more than 30,000 followers on X. 

A few days ago, he reposted a video in which a person is seen burning a LGBT flag and doing the Nazi salute.  

Far-right activist Alberto Pugliato has been thrust into the spotlight after a video of him punching Spanish comedian Jaime Caravaca on Monday night went viral

Pugliato's attack on Caravaca came after the comedian made inappropriate comments on X about the activist's three-month-old son

Caravaca is his polar opposite, known in Spain for his left-wing stance and his LGBT activism, as well as his irreverent and sarcastic comedic style. 

Several have defended the comedian, and his right to free speech.

'He (Pugliato) is not capable of understanding that his son could be gay', an X user commented, while another said: 'What father doesn't defend his child? What a disgusting comic...if he needs to say those things to gain notoriety...'. 

Another user said: 'Don't mess with kids', while another commented: 'not very funny now, is it?', in reference to the punches received by the comedian.

It is not the first time that Caravaca has made jokes about children.

Caravaca is a comedian known in Spain for his left-wing stance and his LGBT activism, as well as his irreverent and sarcastic comedic style. This is not the first time he has made inappropriate jokes about children. He made similar remarks on X on politican Monica Lora's post which showed a child holding a Vox flag

When the Catalonia deputy for the nationalist political party Vox, Monica Lora, posted an image of a little boy holding a Vox flag on social media, Caravaca commented that the boy was 'going to be gay whether you like it or not'. 

He also added that the child was 'going to swallow black worker's c***'. 

Following the attack, Pugilato took to X to post a picture of his dinner: a plate of ham and steak, captioned: 'Savouring a job well done'.

The attack is reminiscent of Will Smith's infamous Oscars slap back in 2022, in which the American actor walked on stage and slapped comedian Chris Rock across the face while he presented the Best Documentary Feature. 

The slap had been in response to a joke Rock made about Smith's wife Jada Pinkett Smith's shaved head.
