Emergency services rushed to Jamie Foxx's mansion in Thousand Oaks, California, after a man was reportedly stabbed in the neck during the actor's annual Halloween party. The event, organised by Foxx's daughter Anelise, descended into chaos as police and paramedics arrived at the scene.
Incident at the party
According to TMZ, police and paramedics responded to reports that a man had been stabbed in the neck at the property. The victim suffered a 'superficial wound' and was treated at the scene.
Video footage taken outside the party shows hundreds of revellers in costume being shepherded away from the home. A large gate covered in cobwebs is visible, with blue emergency service lights reflecting on skeletons and ghost decorations in the lawn. Many people were sprawled on the grass in front of the house, with some individuals seated on the ground under the watch of armed police officers.
Arrests and aftermath
A number of people were seen being led away in handcuffs towards police vans. The exact number of arrests has not been confirmed.
Foxx, 58, won the Oscar for Best Actor for his portrayal of Ray Charles in the 2004 film Ray, and received an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor for Collateral the same year. He also starred in Quentin Tarantino's Django Unchained in 2012. A Grammy Award-winning R&B and hip-hop artist, Foxx survived a life-threatening brain bleed and stroke in 2023 and has recently returned to work in entertainment.
