Croatian police reacted quickly.
After actor Jamie Foxx was verbally abused on Sunday in Dubrovnik, the police reacted quickly and identified and reported the perpetrators, reports Jutarnji List on February 21, 2017.
The police in Dubrovnik will file misdemeanour charges for disturbing the public order against two men who on Sunday night racially insulted popular African-American actor Jamie Foxx in a restaurant in Dubrovnik. Foxx is in Dubrovnik for the filming of “Robin Hood: Origins” film.
The police announced that, after receiving reports about the disruption of public order, they intervened at about 10 pm in a restaurant in the Lapad neighbourhood of Dubrovnik, where a 44-year-old and a 50-year-old were insulting guests and restaurant staff “in a particularly arrogant and rude way”. The older perpetrator “insulted one of the guests on racial grounds”.
The police did not officially report whom they insulted, saying only that the both would be punished for disturbing the peace, and adding that the investigation of this event will continue.
However, Jamie Foxx wrote about the incident on his Instagram profile, where he posted a video in which he says that the two men addressed him with the derogatory word “crnčuga” (“nigger”). In the second video, Foxx said that the staff escorted the two men out of the restaurant. Both videos have since been removed from the profile.
Jamie Fox is in Dubrovnik for the filming of “Robin Hood: Origins”. The movie is produced by Academy Award winner Leonardo DiCaprio and Foxx plays Little John, a chief lieutenant to the legendary hero Robin Hood.
