A man was treated for a superficial neck wound and another man was reportedly arrested during the Halloween event in Thousand Oaks.
THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. — Ventura County sheriff’s deputies and paramedics responded to Jamie Foxx’s home Saturday night after a reported stabbing during an annual Halloween festival organized by the actor and his daughter, according to published reports.
A man suffered what was described as a superficial wound to his neck and was treated by paramedics at the scene, TMZ reported, citing law enforcement sources. The outlet also reported that a male suspect was arrested on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon. Authorities had not publicly identified the injured man or the person reportedly arrested as of Sunday evening.
The incident occurred Nov. 7 during Skvlk Fest, a Halloween-themed music and entertainment event held at Foxx’s property in Thousand Oaks. PEOPLE reported that deputies from the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office were called to the home while the festival was underway. PEOPLE said it had contacted the sheriff’s office for additional information but had not received a response before publication.
Video published after the incident showed law enforcement officers outside the property as large numbers of costumed attendees left the event. Several people could be seen in handcuffs, although the available reports did not establish whether all of them had been arrested or explain why they were detained. Authorities had not released a detailed account of what led to the reported stabbing.
A sign posted at the event said real and fake weapons were prohibited, including items used as costume props, according to TMZ and PEOPLE. The available reports did not identify the type of weapon allegedly involved in the incident, and officials had not publicly released a motive or described the circumstances that preceded the injury.
Skvlk Fest is organized in part by Foxx’s 18-year-old daughter, Anelise. The annual event includes carnival-style attractions and live music performances. PEOPLE reported that performers connected to this year’s festival included Tyga, Ty Dolla $ign, Sexyy Red and Leon Thomas. The event had originally been scheduled for Oct. 31 but was postponed because of rainy weather in California.
It remained unclear whether Foxx was at the property when the reported stabbing occurred. Neither Foxx nor his representatives had publicly addressed the incident in the reports reviewed Sunday. Social media posts connected to the festival focused on performances and the event itself rather than the police response.
The festival also drew attention a year earlier after an object was thrown toward rapper GloRilla while she was performing. PEOPLE reported that Foxx confronted the crowd after the incident and criticized the person responsible. GloRilla later resumed her performance. There was no indication that the earlier episode was connected to Saturday’s reported stabbing.
No additional injuries had been publicly confirmed as of Sunday evening. Authorities also had not released the name of the reported suspect, announced formal criminal charges or provided information about a possible court appearance. An arrest on suspicion of an offense does not constitute a finding of guilt, and prosecutors would determine whether charges are filed.
The Ventura County Sheriff’s Office had not publicly provided a full account of the investigation in the reports available Sunday. Further details about the reported assault, the identities of those involved and any possible charges remained pending official confirmation.
