Anne Hathaway is currently hard at work on her new movie The Witches, but production was interrupted when a man was stabbed on set.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, a man believed to be a crew member was stabbed and sustained a neck injury while working at one of Warner Bros. Studios' sound stages in England.

"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," police said in a statement. "Inquiries are continuing at this time to establish the circumstances around what happened."

A representative from Warner Bros. reportedly told the media that a "knife-related injury" took place on set. Officially, however, the studio declined comment.

The Witches is being directed by Robert Zemeckis and based on the 1983 Roald Dahl children's book.
