Cobra Kai actor Martin Kove has issued a public apology to his co-star Alicia Hannah-Kim after he bit her arm at a fan convention.

Both actors, plus many other members of the Netflix show’s cast, were at a fan convention in Washington state this past weekend.

Alicia claimed that Martin bit her arm and nearly drew blood, then kissed her arm when she yelled out in pain. Police got involved, but Martin was spared an arrest as Alicia declined to press charges against him.

“Martin Kove admitted to biting Alicia’s arm and said he did it out of jest and he thought he was being funny, and they play fight all the time on the set of Cobra Kai, and he did not think it was a big deal,” a police officer said in the police report (via Deadline).

Now, Martin is speaking out with an official apology.

Martin told Deadline, “I deeply regret and apologize for my actions regarding the incident with Alicia (Hannah-Kim), a genuinely kind and wonderful person who didn’t deserve to be put in this position.”

“I’ve always respected her and considered her a highly professional and talented co-worker on Cobra Kai. I was being playful in the moment but went too far and there is absolutely no excuse for my behavior. I regret my actions for which I take full responsibility for what I did, and again I apologize to her and her husband. I’m committed to learning from this and it will never happen again,” he added.

One actress from Cobra Kai recently announced her retirement from acting.
