BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) — Jamie Foxx required stitches after getting hit in the face with a glass while celebrating his birthday at a restaurant in Beverly Hills, California, a representative for the actor told the Los Angeles Times.
It wasn't immediately clear what prompted the incident Friday night at the celebrity hotspot Mr. Chow.
“Someone from another table threw a glass that hit him in the mouth,” a spokesperson for the actor said in a statement to the newspaper. “He had to get stitches and is recovering. The police were called and the matter is now in law enforcement’s hands.”
The Beverly Hills Police Department said it responded around 10 p.m. Friday to a reported assault with a deadly weapon and determined it was unfounded.
“Instead, the incident involved a physical altercation between parties,” said a department statement. “The BHPD conducted a preliminary investigation and completed a report documenting the battery. No arrests were made.”
A telephone message seeking details was left Sunday at Mr. Chow.
In an Instagram post Sunday morning, Foxx thanked those who had checked in on him.
Apparently referring to the Mr. Chow incident, he wrote, “The devil is busy … but I’m too blessed to be stressed.”
Foxx, who won an Academy Award for his portrayal of Ray Charles in 2004's “Ray,” turned 57 on Friday.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — New York Giants quarterback Tommy DeVito sustained a concussion in the first half against the Baltimore Ravens and did not return for the second half.
The Giants announced DeVito was being evaluated for a concussion as the teams left the field for halftime with the Ravens ahead 21-7. He ruled out at the start of the second half.
On the Giants next to last possession, DeVito led a 13-play, 80-yard drive that Devin Singletary capped with a 2-yard run. Late in the drive, Ravens defensive lineman Nnamdi Madubuike was called for a roughing the passer penalty, although it is not certain that was the play on which DeVito was hurt.
Recently signed Tim Boyle took the final snap of the first half — his first with the Giants — and started the second.
DeVito finished 10 of 13 for 68 yards. He was sacked twice.
Boyle, who started his NFL career with the Packers in 2019, is the fourth quarterback to take snaps for the Giants this season. Long-time starter Daniel Jones was released on Nov. 22 after being benched. DeVito started against Tampa Bay and hurt his forearm. Drew Lock started the next two games, but injured a heel last week against New Orleans. DeVito started Sunday before Boyle took over.
