The actor shared in an interview with Comicbook that he was doing a stunt and accidentally cut open a man’s head. He said,

“Well I mean everyone is pretty tired – but it’s the best kind of tired. It’s like you climbed a mountain now you’re resting; like you finished the game and you won. So in terms of accidents: I made a mistake once – I cut a gentleman’s head open.

So that really f*cking s*cked (excuse my language). But other than that – oh, one guy got hit by a car. He was in the car, so he had to go to the hospital, but he was OK.”

There were no fatal injuries while performing stunts on the sets of John Wick 4.
