Man treated for neck wound and suspect arrested after reported stabbing at Jamie Foxx's party

What the reports say

Police and paramedics were reportedly called to the Thousand Oaks, California, mansion of actor Jamie Foxx on Saturday evening, 7 November. TMZ, citing sources, said paramedics treated a man who had been stabbed in the neck, and that the wound was superficial. The gathering was the annual Halloween party, a fancy-dress event organised by Foxx's 18-year-old daughter Anelise. It is not known whether Foxx was at the property at the time. The account of the injury comes from TMZ's sources, and no public statement confirming it has been cited.

An arrest and guests led off the grounds

A male suspect was taken into custody, and TMZ reported that the arrest was for assault with a deadly weapon. Video filmed outside the party reportedly showed several people in handcuffs, while hundreds of guests were being directed off the premises. A photograph from the scene showed a sign that banned real or fake weapons, and according to People the rule covered even costume props. The event is the Skvlk Fest, a music festival built around Halloween with fairground-style rides. Performers listed for it include Tyga, Ty Dolla $ign, Sexyy Red and Leon Thomas.

Postponement and last year's bottle incident

The festival was due on 31 October but was moved back a week because of heavy rain in California. Last year, an attendee threw a glass bottle at rapper GloRilla, 27, while she performed, and her set was briefly halted. Foxx stepped in and, in a clip circulating online, angrily asked the crowd:

“Why would you throw something at the stage, man?”

GloRilla finished her set after the pause. Foxx later praised his daughter's work in two Instagram posts, calling the night epic and the festival amazing, and writing that she had created something magical.

Unanswered questions and other family news

It is still unclear from the reports whether Foxx was home when the incident happened. No official police statement on the injury or the arrest has been cited so far. Separately, sources told People on 4 November that Foxx and his partner Alyce Huckstepp, 31, had a child. It is his third child and her first.
