US Actor Jamie Foxx Injured in Restaurant Incident, Police Report Details Altercation
American Actor Jamie Foxx is recovering from injuries sustained during a birthday dinner incident at Mr. Chow restaurant in Beverly Hills on Friday night, CNN reports.
A spokesperson for Foxx confirmed that he was struck in the mouth by a glass thrown from another table, requiring stitches. The Beverly Hills Police Department (BHPD) responded to a report of a possible assault with a deadly weapon, but their investigation concluded that the incident involved a physical altercation rather than an intentional assault. No arrests were made, and a battery report was filed.
The BHPD statement does not name Foxx, but the timeline and location match the spokesperson’s account. The incident occurred shortly after 10 p.m. The police report classified the incident as a battery, indicating a physical altercation resulted in injury.
This incident comes just days after Foxx released a Netflix special, “Jamie Foxx: What Had Happened Was,” detailing his health struggles last year, including a medical emergency involving a brain bleed and stroke. In the special, Foxx described losing 20 days of memory following the incident. He attributed his recovery to his sister’s quick thinking in getting him to a hospital where he underwent emergency surgery. Doctors warned of a challenging recovery period.
Following the restaurant incident, Foxx posted on social media Sunday morning, thanking supporters and referencing his recent Netflix special.
