"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. Enquiries are continuing at this time to establish the circumstances around what happened," she added.
The Witches, being directed by Robert Zemeckis, is an adaptation of Roald Dahl's classic book of the same name.
The project is produced by Oscar-winning directors Alfonso Cuaron and Guillermo del Toro.
The book follows a boy who stumbles upon a coven of child-hating witches he must stop, even though he has been turned into a mouse.
Hathaway, 36, is playing the role of Grand Witch in the film, which also feature Chris Rock, Stanley Tucci, and Octavia Spencer.
The book was previously adapted by the Warner Bros into a 1990 film, starring Anjelica Huston as Grand Witch.
