Law enforcement responded to Jamie Foxx’s home in Thousand Oaks, California, on Saturday following a reported stabbing during his annual Halloween festival. The event, known as Skvlk Fest (pronounced “skulk”), is organized by Foxx’s 18-year-old daughter, Anelise.
According to reports from TMZ, a man was stabbed in the neck and sustained a superficial wound during the festivities. Paramedics provided treatment for the man at the scene. One man was subsequently arrested for assault with a deadly weapon.
Video footage of the aftermath captured several individuals being led away in handcuffs as hundreds of guests departed the venue. Despite the incident, the event had implemented precautionary measures from the start, including signs banning costume props and "real or fake weapons."
The festival features live music and carnival-style rides. This year’s lineup included performances by Tyga, Ty Dolla $ign, Sexyy Red, and Leon Thomas. The event was originally scheduled for Saturday, October 31, but was postponed because of rain.
The festival has seen previous incidents, including a report from People that a guest threw a glass bottle at rapper GloRilla, 27, during her performance last year. Foxx, 58, defended her from the stage by asking who had thrown the bottle before she finished her set.
This report follows news from November 4, when sources told People that Foxx and his girlfriend, Alyce Huckstepp, 31, welcomed a baby. The couple has not disclosed the child's name or birthdate. Foxx also has two other children, Anelise and Corinne, 32.
