The incident continues to be investigated, with officers submitting a report documenting battery, confirming no arrests were made.

The incident comes after the star revealed on his Netflix special that he had a “near-death experience” last year.

The actor was hospitalised last year for a mystery health scare.

On his show, Foxx opened up about his health struggle, sharing he suffered a brain bleed that led to a stroke in 2023.

“April 11, I was having a bad headache and I asked my boy for an aspirin. And I realised quickly that when you’re in a medical emergency, your boys don’t know what the f–k to do,” he said.

“Before I could get the aspirin I went out.”

Foxx said, “I don’t remember 20 days”.
