He reportedly said that when the argument escalated, Wayne threatened to shoot him with a semiautomatic rifle.
He pointed the semiautomatic rifle at him and punched him in the ear, reports Rolling Stone.
Christian says he incurred medical expenses, lost wages, and suffered emotional distress, states TMZ.
He is reportedly suing Wayne for compensatory and punitive damages.
In 2020, Wayne pleaded guilty to a firearm charge.
A gold-plated pistol and bullets were found in his luggage when police searched a private plane in Miami. He reportedly told police the weapon had been given to him as a Father's Day gift.
