'Outer Banks' Star Austin North Arrested, Allegedly Attacked ER Employees
Austin North went haywire at a hospital in Vegas this week — attacking several emergency room staffers and needing to be restrained … so claim cops, anyway.
According to the police report, obtained by TMZ, officers were dispatched to UMC Hospital Tuesday night for reports of an assault and battery that had apparently occurred in the ER … and when they arrived, cops say the interviewed the alleged victims.
According to a couple nurses and a phlebotomist — who claim to have been struck by Austin in a bum-rush they say came out of nowhere — the actor was throwing fists and shoving all three of them in succession … for no apparent reason whatsoever.
He’s alleged to have punched a nurse in the head, shoving the face of another nurse and pushed the phlebotomist into a table — only for the latter alleged victim to use a tray nearby to smack him in the head in self-defense.
At this point, cops say Austin was restrained by security officers … but he’s alleged to have attacked one last person — although it’s not clear from the report what her job was.
In any case, they finally cuffed him to a gurney there in the hospital. The cops who arrived to deal with this say they read Austin his Miranda rights when they told him they were arresting him for battery, and when asked if he understood … they claim he said “yes.”
