According to the publication, Jamie was at the restaurant with his family as he was pictured going in with his daughters Corinne and Anelise Foxx, and his former partner, Kristin Grannis.
Sharing further details of the incident, a spokesperson for the "Just Mercy" star told Page Six that Jamie was at his birthday dinner "when someone from another table threw a glass that hit him in the mouth." They said he had to get stitches and is now recovering. The spokesperson added: "The police were called and the matter is now in law enforcement's hands."
It comes days after the actor revealed for the first time exactly what happened during his terrifying health crisis last year. Jamie broke down in tears as said he suffered a stroke caused by a bleed on the brain, meaning he "saw a tunnel" and believed he was dying after "losing 20 days."
The Django Unchained actor was hospitalised in April last year after suffering a mystery "medical complication" which his family decided to keep private. The comedian has now opened up about his experience for the first time. Speaking in his new Netflix special 'Jamie Foxx: What Had Happened Was....', he said: "On April 11, I was having a bad headache, and I asked my boy for Aspirin. I realised quickly that when you're in a medical emergency, your boys don't know what the f*** to do." He went on: "I don't remember 20 days."
At one point the teary-eyed star admitted to his live audience after declaring he was "back": "You don't know how good this feels." After starting his sentence with "What had happened was...," Jamie broke down in tears in the TV special and was comforted by the applauding audience. He then said: "Your life doesn't flash before you. It was kind of oddly peaceful. I saw the tunnel, but I didn’t see the light. It was hot in that tunnel."
Foxx, who had been filming the Netflix spy action film Back In Action with Hollywood actress Cameron Diaz, recalled how he was treated at Piedmont Hospital in Atlanta after suddenly falling ill. He said it started as a "bad headache" before he went to a doctor, where he received a "cortisone shot", a steroid injection. He said his sister Deidra Dixon "knew something was wrong" as he was lethargic, and took him to the hospital.
"She didn't know anything about Piedmont Hospital, but she had a hunch that some angels were in there," he added. "Atlanta saved my life." Addressing why his family wanted to keep details of his health scare to themselves, he said: "I was dizzy from the stroke, so my head would bob around, and my family thought everyone would 'meme the f***' out of me."
