The male victim sustained a neck injury and was taken to a hospital by ambulance.

A man, reportedly a crewmember, was stabbed Wednesday on the set of the Anne Hathaway film The Witches.

The stabbing took place at one of Warner Bros. Studios’ stages in Leavesden, Hertfordshire, in England, police said.

The Hertfordshire Constabulary said in a statement that the victim, a man, sustained a neck injury and was taken to a hospital by ambulance.

“A second man was arrested on suspicion of wounding with intent to do grievous bodily harm and is currently in police custody. It is believed the men are known to each other. Inquiries are continuing at this time to establish the circumstances around what happened,” police said. 

Warner Bros. said the incident was a police matter and declined comment. 

It is unclear if Hathaway was anywhere around the incident. A rep for the actress did not immediately respond to a request for comment. 

Hathaway is playing the Grand High Witch in Robert Zemeckis’ remake of the 1990 movie The Witches, which was based on late author Roald Dahl’s 1983 children’s book of the same name.
