Jamie Foxx was injured in an altercation at his birthday dinner

Jamie Foxx was injured in an altercation at his birthday dinner

Hollywood actor Jamie Foxx’s birthday dinner was cut short after he was involved in an altercation at a Beverly Hills restaurant and required stitches, his representative said.

The Django Unchained and Ray star celebrated his 57th birthday on Friday.

Someone at another table “threw a glass that hit him in the mouth” and the matter is now in “the hands of law enforcement,” a representative for Foxx told the BBC’s US affiliate, CBS News.

They added that the actor “required stitches and is recovering.”

Officials with the Beverly Hills Police Department confirmed that police went to Mr. Chow, an upscale Chinese restaurant, after reports of an assault with a deadly weapon.

Police determined that a physical altercation had occurred between two parties inside the restaurant and that reports of an assault with a deadly weapon were unfounded. They did not elaborate on what sparked the argument.

The representative told CBS News Los Angeles that Foxx was at the restaurant for a celebration, although police did not specifically release his name.

The police were called around 10:10 p.m

It is unclear whether there have been any arrests and no further information has been provided.

The incident occurred after Foxx revealed this the reason for his hospitalization in April last year.

During a Netflix special earlier this month, the actor told the audience he suffered a “brain hemorrhage that led to a stroke.”

He said he had a bad headache one day and asked for an aspirin, but before he could take it he “passed out. I don’t remember 20 days.”

At the time, his daughter Corinne Foxx said he had suffered a “medical complication,” but the family did not share details about his health issues.

The star won an Academy Award for Best Actor in 2005 for playing musician Ray Charles in “Ray.” That same year, he was also nominated for Best Supporting Actor for his role in “Collateral.”

His other films include Baby Driver, Annie and The Amazing Spider-Man 2.
