Jamie Foxx required medical attention after getting hit in the face with a glass while celebrating his birthday at Mr. Chow in Beverly Hills on Friday night.
“Someone from another table threw a glass that hit him in the mouth,” a spokesperson for the actor said in a statement to The Times. “He had to get stitches and is recovering. The police were called and the matter is now in law enforcement’s hands.”
The Beverly Hills Police Department said that it responded to a reported possible assault with a deadly weapon at the celebrity hot spot at 10:06 p.m. and determined it was unfounded.
“Instead, the incident involved a physical altercation between parties,” a department news release said. “The BHPD conducted a preliminary investigation and completed a report documenting the battery. No arrests were made.”
It was unclear what prompted the incident. A call to Mr. Chow was not immediately returned.
On Saturday afternoon, a spokesperson for the Beverly Hills Police Department said officers had reached out to Foxx’s camp to get more details from the actor.
In a post to Instagram early Sunday morning, Foxx thanked those who had prayed for and reached out to him.
The actor appeared to be referring to the incident when he wrote, “The devil is busy…but I’m too blessed to be stressed.”
