Authorities have cleared up reports of a stabbing at Jamie Foxx‘s Halloween party. The Ventura County Sheriff‘s Office says the injured guest wasn’t attacked with a knife. Investigators now believe his neck injury came from a physical fight. Police are still looking into three separate altercations from the November 7 event.
What authorities determined about the injury at Jamie Foxx’s party
The reported stabbing at Foxx’s California home wasn’t what police initially believed. Investigators have confirmed that a teenager who suffered a neck injury during the actor’s Halloween celebration was not attacked with a knife.
According to PEOPLE, the deputies were called to the incident that occurred on November 7 due to reports of stabbing. The wounded teenager sustained a shallow wound on his neck, which resulted in the arrest of a second juvenile for assault with a deadly weapon.
However, the story changed after investigators spoke with the injured guest on November 9. The sheriff’s office said “it was determined the victim was not assaulted with a knife, and the injury appears to be from a mutual combat / simple battery.”
In addition to this incident, police are also looking into reports of two more fights at the party. According to eyewitnesses, deputies saw a teen kicking someone in the head. One of the guests reported being punched and kicked unconscious near the concert stage.
The duo was apprehended by authorities in connection with the attacks. Additionally, they have asked the attendees to provide video footage that can be used by the investigators.
The problem started at Skvlk Fest, the yearly Halloween party by Foxx, where his daughter Anelise Bishop was rumored to host. The event was attended by about 3,000 people.
The gathering had already made headlines over the initial stabbing report. Last year’s festival also drew attention after Foxx confronted a guest who threw a bottle toward GloRilla.
For now, investigators keep on studying all the three cases. The latest discovery made by the sheriff proves that the initial stabbing claim was a false one.
