'Cobra Kai' villain Martin Kove kicked out of fan event after he allegedly bit costar Alicia Hannah-Kim.

'Cobra Kai' villain Martin Kove allegedly bit costar Alicia Hannah-Kim

'Cobra Kai' actress Alicia Hannah-Kim complained to police that Martin Kove, who's played John Kreese since the very first 'Karate Kid' movie, bit her.

TL;DR: Cobra Kai’s on-screen bad guy John Kreese himself—veteran actor Martin Kove—was shown the door at Washington State Summer Con after allegedly sinking his teeth into former costar Alicia Hannah-Kim’s arm. She says she tapped him on the shoulder to say hi when he grabbed her, bit down hard enough to leave bruises and almost draw blood, then tried to play it off as a joke.

Hannah-Kim filed a police report (but declined to press charges), and Kove told officers he was “messing around” like their playful on-set fights. He eventually apologized, but not before the incident was officially documented—and he was escorted out of the event.
