American actor and comedian Jamie Foxx needed medical attention after being hit in the face with a glass while celebrating his birthday at a Beverly Hills restaurant, the Los Angeles Times reported this Saturday.
The incident occurred on Friday night at the famous Mr. Chow restaurant when “someone from another table threw a glass that hit him in the mouth,” a spokesperson for the actor told the newspaper.
Foxx, who turned 57 on December 13, received medical attention and stitches in his mouth. This Saturday he is recovering, according to his agent.
Beverly Hills police responded to a call about a possible assault with a deadly weapon at the restaurant, but upon investigation determined that it was a physical altercation that “involved multiple parties.” There were no arrests, according to a statement.
In April of last year, Foxx was hospitalized for 20 days in Atlanta, Georgia, for a medical emergency that began with a headache.
