Police Called to Jamie Foxx’s Halloween Festival After Guest Is Stabbed at His California Mansion

Jamie Foxx’s annual Halloween celebration took an alarming turn after a guest was reportedly stabbed in the neck during the large-scale event at the actor’s California mansion. The incident prompted a police response, paramedics rushing to assist the injured man and at least one reported arrest. Hundreds of partygoers were eventually directed to leave the property as authorities dealt with the situation.

The incident occurred on Saturday, November 7, at Foxx’s home in Thousand Oaks, California, during SKVLK Fest, the Halloween-themed music festival organized by the actor and his 18-year-old daughter, Anelise Foxx. According to reports cited by PEOPLE and TMZ, Ventura County Sheriff’s deputies and paramedics were called to the property after a man was reportedly stabbed in the neck. The victim suffered what was described as a superficial wound and received medical treatment at the scene.

A male suspect was reportedly arrested on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon. Footage from outside the property showed a chaotic scene, with several individuals in handcuffs while costumed attendees were escorted away. However, authorities have not publicly identified the suspect or explained what led to the confrontation. It is also unclear whether the injured man and the suspect knew each other.

The incident has drawn additional attention because the festival reportedly had strict rules prohibiting guests from bringing real or imitation weapons, including props intended for Halloween costumes. SKVLK Fest has grown into a major annual gathering, featuring carnival-style attractions and performances by well-known musicians. This year’s lineup included Tyga, Ty Dolla $ign, Sexyy Red and Leon Thomas. The event had originally been scheduled for October 31 but was postponed because of rainy weather.

This is not the first time Foxx’s Halloween celebration has been disrupted by an incident involving a guest. At the 2025 event, rapper GloRilla briefly stopped performing after someone in the crowd threw a glass bottle toward the stage. Foxx confronted the audience member responsible, expressing anger that someone would put a performer in danger during the celebration. GloRilla later resumed her performance.

Neither Foxx nor his representatives had publicly commented on the reported stabbing at the time of the initial coverage. It also remains unknown whether the actor was at the mansion when the incident occurred. While the injured guest was reportedly treated at the property and a suspect was taken into custody, investigators have yet to release further details about the circumstances surrounding the alleged attack. What was meant to be a night of music, costumes and celebration instead ended with police intervention and serious questions about safety at the event.
