Hannah-Kim then alerted the reporting officer to the assault.
According to the report, Kove told the officer that he was trying to be "funny," adding that they "play fight all the time on the set of 'Cobra Kai.'" Kove was then reportedly told to leave. The report states that Hannah-Kim did not want to press charges, but "wished to have a report filed in case this continues."
'Martin Cove' is best known for his role as John Kreese, the main antagonist of 'The Karate Kid' (1984). Kove reprised the role in 'The Karate Kid Part II' (1986), 'The Karate Kid Part III' (1989), and the television series 'Cobra Kai' (2018-2025). (ANI)
