Police reportedly responded to Jamie Foxx’s California mansion after a stabbing disrupted his family’s annual Halloween music festival.

Deputies from the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office responded to Foxx’s Thousand Oaks property following reports of a stabbing during the Halloween celebration.

According to TMZ, a man suffered a superficial stab wound to his neck. Paramedics treated him at the scene.

Authorities reportedly arrested one person on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon.

Video footage from the aftermath showed officers escorting several individuals in handcuffs as hundreds of attendees left the property.

However, the report confirmed only one arrest and did not identify the suspect. Authorities have yet to disclose further details about the circumstances surrounding the stabbing.

According to TMZ, notices around Foxx’s property prohibited attendees from carrying real or imitation weapons, including Halloween costume accessories.

The festival, known as Skvlk Fest and pronounced “skulk,” featured musical performances and carnival-style attractions.

Foxx’s 18-year-old daughter, Anelise, organized the annual celebration. This year’s lineup included artists such as Tyga, Ty Dolla $ign, Sexyy Red and Leon Thomas.

Organizers originally scheduled the festivities for Oct. 31. However, rainy weather in California prompted them to postpone the event until Nov. 7.

The latest incident followed another disturbance at the festival the previous year.

During the 2025 event, an attendee reportedly threw a glass bottle toward rapper GloRilla while she performed.

Foxx confronted the audience and criticized the unidentified individual responsible. He expressed disappointment that someone had disrupted the performance at his home.

GloRilla eventually resumed her performance and completed her set.

The Nov. 7 stabbing marked another reported disturbance at the annual celebration. However, authorities have not established any connection between the two incidents.

PEOPLE contacted the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office and Foxx’s representatives for additional information about the latest incident.
