A spokesperson confirmed that Dev Patel, a British actor, ended a fight in where a man had been stabbed in his chest.
Patel’s spokesperson, who appeared in Slumdog Millionaire, and Lion, said that he had seen “a violent altercation outside of a convenience store” with his friends.
They stated that Devi acted in accordance with his instincts to de-escalate and end the fight.
“The group was thankfully successful and they remained on-site to ensure that the ambulance and police arrived.”
After the stabbing Monday night in Adelaide, Australia, 32-year old actor was seen talking to police.
South Australia Police reported that officers were called at 8.45pm to investigate reports of fighting on the streets.
Witnesses tried to stop the fight at a nearby station. Then, the woman allegedly attacked the man’s chest.
Ambulance officers treated a 32-year old Glengowrie man on the spot. The Royal Adelaide Hospital took him to the hospital. His injuries are not life-threatening.
Patel’s spokesperson said that “This incident highlights a larger systemic problem of marginalised individuals not being treated with dignity and respect.”
“The hope is for the media to pay the same attention to this story (only because Dev is famous) to encourage lawmakers to show compassion in finding long-term solutions that will help not just the people involved, but also the entire community.
Patel lives with Tilda Cobham Hervey in Adelaide, where he co-starred in Hotel Mumbai (2018).
